Greetings! I'm setting up to finish my install this weekend and would love a little guidance on fuse sizes before I take the final plunge...
My setup:
1 Kenwood XR-5S (160w x 2, 350w x 1 RMS)
1 Kenwood KAC-5204 (60w x 2 RMS)
The XR-5S has been in for almost a year, pushing a set of MB Quart components up front, but that's all -- so it's been running at 160w x 2 only. I'm now ready to add a subwoofer, running off the XR-5S' mono sub channel, and some Quart coaxials in the rear using the KAC-5204.
I currently have 4ga wire feeding the XR-5S with an 80A fuse on the wire. I have distro blocks for the power and ground wires, and was planning on feeding the XR-5S with 4ga and the KAC-5204 with 8ga out of the block.
The XR-5S uses two 30A fuses; the KAC-5204 a single 25A.
So, I'm assuming first of all that I'll have to up the fuse size on the main wire. I have a 150A fuse I can put in place of the 80A; will that work? Too big? Too small?
Also, I'm wondering what size fuses I should use in the distro block. It currently has 80A fuses in it, but that seems too big for the KAC-5204. Should I replace these with another size? Or can I leave those in?
Thanks in advance for your help!
