Ok im upgrading amplifiers in my car from memphis 2004/500d to eD nine.1/nine.2.

I havent hooked up 2 amplifiers in a car for a very long time...i've forgotten how to fuse both the amps...

Im upgrading to 0/1awg wire from the battery to the amps. I have a fused distrobution block that the 0/1awg goes into - and two 4awg comes out. The dblock has two fuse slots, do i use a fuse on each side for the rating of the amps? (120 amp fuse on one side, 50 amp fuse on the other?) If so...what size fuse do i use near the battery?

Someone fill me in, i want to install this stuff asap and i dont want to mess it up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

take the fuses and add them together (for example 50 on 1 amp and 45 on another=95) Add 5 or 10 amps, so you'd need a 100 amp fuse at the battery. For the individual amps, dothe same thing, the 45 amp would need a 50amp fuse and the 50 amp would need a 60 amp fuse.

you can use the total max current draw of both amps, as long as the wire is large enough.... which 1/0 would be.
