[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 5036281, member: 540940"] That amp is so drastically over-rated -- what's it matter? Using the 150A fuses as a guideline you're looking at roughly 1800w optimally - so work backwards from there. Maybe 1350@2, so what - 1600 at 1.3? And P~S is on it regarding fuse location. Technically the best location would be securely attatched directly to the batt (+) (not that it would ever happen). You want the fuse close enough to the battery that there is almost no possible way for that short length of unprotected wire to become accidentally shorted to any piece of the car's chassis. Just understand that the further away it is the more likely you'll be to have a problem. If you're confident that at 36" the wire is adequately protected then install it at 36". BTW - electrons flow from (-) to (+), which makes sense considering they're negatively charged and similar charges repel, but current flows from (+) to (-). [/QUOTE]
