Quick question...

I plan on running 2 aura 2300 amplifierss in my new system. Each aura amp has 2 40amp fuses in it. Are these redunent and the total fuse size I should put on my battery to amplifier cable be 80 amp, or is each amplifier 80 amps and I need a 160 amp fuse for battery to amplifier?

Thanks all.

you fuse the WIRE, not amp load...that's what the fuses on the amp are for.

Are the amps fused to 40 amps or 80?

total the fuses on the amps. I think you said 2x40 so 80A per amp.
