little confused

[Gazlay43 10+ year member]

Alright I'm ready to wire up my amp, but now I'm a little confused about something.

I have the PKD1 Kicker wiring kit and I'm not sure what I do with everything. The thing I'm confused about is how to use the fuse holder and the 2 distribution blocks that came in the kit. I know that I should mount the fuse near the battery, but the fuse holder doesn't accept the 1/0 awg wire. It is meant for 4 awg wire which also came in the kit. So my question is what do I do with the fuse holder and distribution blocks?

Probably a stupid question, but I'm a newb //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

let someone who knows what they're doing handle it before you kill yourself

just trim the wire down a bit to fit nicely. works every time.

Thats a little extreme. I think something a bit closer to the truth is more appropriate..... Your car might catch on fire while you are driving and during the panic you run a red light and kill 11 kids in a crosswalk. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif
