Fuse Question

[travicles 10+ year member]

I will be putting in 2 amps, the MB Quart DSC4125 and the DSC1500.1. To wire them I am getting Knuconceptz kolossus flex 0 gauge dual amp kit with the distribution block. I need to know what size fuses i need for the run of 0 gauge and the distribution block. This could be a potentially stupid question but I need to know lol

ummm... I will tell you this.. I put the dsc4125 on its OWN 1/0 wire with a 100a fuse.. the dsc 1500.1 is probably a 150a fuse so I would do a 250a on the line..

why would the dsc4125 need its own 1/0 wire if its only 500 watts? right now thats all i have in the car but i have it on a 4 gauge

Both amps combined are rated at 240a, so you should be good with 250a. Also, 4g will do just fine for the 4 channel, no need for 0g.

the 4125 is rated at 1000 rms total bridged x 2 @ 4ohms ( 500 x 2 ) you need at least 4 guage to it just use the 0 guage and then send a 4 guage from a 100 amp distro to it and a 150 to the 1500.1d with a 250 main line fuse at the battery
