electrical help. proper fuses?

[dezahp]

Hi, I'm a real beginner with car audio and electronics. I'm looking to see what are proper fuses that I should use for my audio system. I will have 2 amps running into a fused distribution block that runs to the battery with a inline fuse holder. All will be using 4gauge ofc power wire.

Here is the setup:

-4 channel SoundStream amp

-Rockford Fosgate Class D Amplifier

-KnuKonceptz 4 gauge OFC amp kit

-JL fused distribution block

What rated fuses should I use in the distribution block for which amps? Also, is 120 fuse good for the inline fuse at the battery? Just want to check and make sure everything is good.

So it looks like you should be fine with a 75-80 amp fuse for the 4 ch and 50 amp fuse for the mono amp. You have that amp wiring kit yet or will be buying it? I have that very same one. Good choice.

OK cool, thanks. Yea I already have the amp wiring kit. I got it since it had nothing but good reviews.
