Distribution Suggestions

[SirSteve 10+ year member]

I would like a few suggestions on how I should wire my system with distribution blocks (streetwires). Here is what I have:

300 watt Invertor for PS2

1 JL 1000/1 (needs 4 gauge)

1 JL 300/4 (needs 4 gauge)

1 Undercar Neon

2 Interior Neon Tubes

I currently have a single 4 gauge wire going to the distribution block but I redoing the system and the new block has a power and negative terminals in one block so what is the best way to wire the new stuff above to it?

4 gauge from distribution block to 1000/1

4 gauge from distribution block to 300/4

That's what I thought but the local dealer said the 1000/1 would be best on it's own wire from the battery with an in-line fuse?

True. I would run a seperate wire for your bass amp & Fuse it under the hood. that amp ain't no joke.

I fuse it before the amp as well?

No...the main purpose of an in-line fuse on your power wire is to Protect the wire(this way if the wire grounds out, it won't catch the car on fire) the amp is protected by its own fuse. I would ONLY fuse it under the hood.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
