[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8444740, member: 540940"] ^^ That. Your primary power wire needs to be able to provide the current for the two amps combined, so 60A or more. The on-board fuse is the on-board fuse -- it has little to do with what you do between the battery and the amp other than give you an idea of the amount of current you need to acct for. At a minimum you need 8 awg primary wire. From there you should have a small distribution block where you can drop down to 10 awg if you want (and if you do, the distribution block should have two 30A fuses in it). Or just go with 8 awg all the way to the amps. [/QUOTE]
