ok, i need know if i'm wiring this right. i plan on buying a hifonics zx7500 and running it at 2 ohms to power 2 rockford stage 3 p312d2 12s. should be 500 x 2 rms. and have another amp putting out like 50 rms x 2 to my mids. now, should i go with a 2 gauge power wire, then to a fused distributor, then from there, 4 gauge to the zx7500, and 10 gauge to the other amp? i'm kinda new to wiring, but any help will be appreciated.

Do the 2 awg to the distro, then do 4 awg to the sub amp and no less than 8 awg to the other amp. That should be plenty of wire for your purposes.

thanks a lot, i also had 1 other question. i heard the zues's tend to over heat, so how would i wire in a couple fans? again sorry for the noobness //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

get some 12v fans from radio shack. Find out how many amps they draw and combine the amps times the total number of fans to get a fuse to protect them. Than draw a 16 guage line from the distro to a switch. From the switch hook up a ground line to the car.. and then hook up positive and negative feeds from the fans to the switch. now you can turn them on and off. the more expensive way to do it is to by some kind of digital thermometer that will turn on an accesory when it reaches a certain heat. Then you don't have to futs with it.

or you could just wire them via a relay w/ the remote wire that way they turn on when the amp does.....jus my $.02
