[QUOTE="KaeZoo, post: 1212857, member: 554753"] DO NOT hook up your amp power wire to the internal fuse box. You MUST run the power wire directly to the battery. I'm not sure where you got the 17 amp number, but an amplifier delivering 600 watts must draw at least 41 amps of current even in a best-case scenario, with 14.4 volts from the electrical system and a 100% efficient amp. The very best you could hope for would be a blown fuse. As far as your second question: just because your subs can reproduce frequencies up to 500 hz doesn't mean you want them to. Your system will sound best if the subwoofer stops playing frequencies about the point where the front/rear speakers start; for most car systems that's about 80hz. [/QUOTE]
