[QUOTE="PassatSport2015, post: 8538326, member: 671617"] Got a 2015 Passat, pics only for attention. Brutus Brx616.4 running 80 w rms x 4 @ 4 ohm (30 a x2 fuses) Brutus Brx1116.1d running 700 w rms x 1 @ 2 ohm (60 a x 1 fuse) Now should I get 120 amp fuse at the battery? Not sure if I can get away with 4 gauge power wire or will I need 2 awg into 4 awg from the amps. According to the calculations depending on the length. I need a 2 awg but a 150 a fuse. * Total RMS Wattage times 2, then divided by 13.8 Volts equals Current Draw in Amperes [IMG]http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161227/83e79767daf8dcc89d397e9b666151be.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161227/c25f6feb0ceb2768b05564d64a26775a.jpg[/IMG] Sent from my Portable [/QUOTE]
