Current Draw from my 2 amps?

[thuggish3000 10+ year member]

okay guys/girls, i need some help here. I've just ordered my new setup but i need to know what size fuse to put in my ANL fuse holder from the battery to the trunk. I'm running 2 amps ( 1 for the sub and 1 for the speakers). well here's how it will be wired and the names of the amps with wattage:

Lanzar vibe 1800D mono- 400watts RMS@4ohms 800watts RMS@2ohms and 1000Watts RMS@1ohm. ( i will be wiring it in a 4ohm load sending the 400watts to the sub)

Power Acoustik OV4-600 (i know it's not the best)- 70wattsx4 RMS@4ohms (it will be running in 4ohms for my front and rear speakers)

Can someone tell me exactly how much current total these amps will draw?

Thanks alot for any help..

Research the Amp Specs on the company website or on a dealer's website. There is a formula to determine the amp draw but many companies will exaggerate the potential of the amp leaving you with an incorrect number. Find out the fuse rating of each Amp and add them together.
