[QUOTE="zoltman1991, post: 8888280, member: 691561"] I'm a little torn. I'm seeing two direct opposite answers. Here is my set up: -Fosgate T1500 (man. recs 200a) -Focal AP 4340 (man. recs 40a) -Focal AP 4340 (man. recs 40a) -0awg running into trunk AGM, into fused distribution block) For one, what fuse size do I run for my main power wire? -I'm seeing fuse for wire v. fuse for load. Either way, 300a would be a good size for both approaches, correct? What's also throwing me off is that online sources are suggesting a 125a-150a MAX for a 4awg wire. This is directly against Fosgate's recommendations. Fosgate recommends a 4awg power wire with a 200a fuse. Again, this is throwing me off. My current plan is to run: -300a fuse by Hood battery. -300a fuse before trunk battery -200a/40a/40a into the distribution blocks. would love everyone's insight. [/QUOTE]
