Fuse question.

[brybry354 10+ year member]

I just installed a KickerZX1000.1 Class D Amp to 2 12" Kicker L5's.

Anyways i have a 100x1 Amp fuse and only an 8AWG power wire going through it...

i used this amp kit to hook everything up, will it work or not be strong enough?

The fuse is good, you definately need bigger power wire though.

**** so i need to take out the 8 gauge power wire and rewire it with some 2 gauge?

 

[PaulThompson229 10+ year member]

4 gauge should be sufficent, are you running a second amp for mids/highs?

No im just using the 1000.1

i have another factory amp powering my bose speaker system, i have a chevy silverado.

Do i need bigger speaker wire and ground as well? or just the power wire?

go 4 gauge all the way

Oh, the ground wire needs to be at least as big as the power wire, if not bigger.

I would just re-do the power & ground with 4ga and call it a day.
