Figure out mah plans!

OK... this is whats going to be involved...

Clarion APX200.2 50 x 2 rms @ 4 ohm ... 28 amps max draw (Only for my fronts)

Crossfire vr1000d (Can handle 1 ohm... pulling 120 amp) I'm going to be running at 2 ohms .... therefore approx around 60-70 amps ... for a single 12 inch

Currently I have just the clarion apx200.2 along with ... 8 gauge wire, agu fuse holder, 30 amp fuse

I've been figuring out what to use to install both amps ...

Crossfire requires 4 gauge wire ...

soooo.....

Between battery and Distribution Fuse Box = 2 gauge wire and a 150 amp AGL fuse/holder

Distribution separtes to 4 gauge wire for Crossfire (inside having 120 amp AGL)

Distribution separates to 8 gauge wire to Clarion 2 channel amp (inside having 20-30 amp AGL???)

This seems like so many things to purchase and can be costly.. how do I lower the cost of these items while maintaining the same safety precaussions? (not experieneced installing two amps)

Why is it that I don't need anymore Fuses after the 150 ANL? (isn't one needed to protect the wire?)

I know the amps have their own...

speaking I think i may have just toasted my amp :|!!!.... manual for clarion says max 28 amps.. it came standard with 25 amp....

just popped on me ... grrr.. hopefully the amp is alright //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

nah I fooled around.. I put a 2 ohm load onto my amp .... (should only handle 4 ohm mono...) probaly pulled over 30 amps... I'll have to go back to the 8 ohm load
