[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6871834, member: 576029"] Most likely, 4 awg will be enough, if your length is less than 12' - I consider you to be in the 90A range in the table below. If you are more than 12' then look at 2 awg or 0 awg. The inline fuse is sized for the wire. If you want to have one power wire ran to the back, then split to two amps - you'll need a way to do that safely - that is where the distribution block comes in. If the wire size in is the same as the wire size out - you don't need a fused distribution block. If the wire in is larger, then you want fused so you protect the smaller wires. Visit this page and read it (provides fuse sizing): [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/fuses.htm"]FUSES[/URL] [IMG]http://74.50.20.110/wiringdiagram.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
