[QUOTE="kozik, post: 7244849, member: 625641"] Okay so currently i have a 4ch amp installed with a 4 gauge power cable and 100 fuse by the battery. Problem is i'm installing a new Hifonics 1000w amp and the other amp is probably putting out about 400w. the power cable is probably about 7-10ft long. 1st question: Will the 4 gauge power cable be enough to get me the 1400w or do i need 2 or 0 gauge? 2nd question: the 2 amps together have a fuse rating of 120 do i need to get a bigger fuse at the front by the battery like 120 or 150? 3rd question: I know i need a distribution block but i dont know much about them. do fused distribution blocks come with the fuses already or do you need to buy fuses for them as well? Sorry im new to this all and i thought i had it under control but now i'm starting to get overwhelmed :S [/QUOTE]
