Need help making the power wire fit.

[hitman34608 10+ year member]

I want to run 0 gauge wire but my amp has 4 gauge wire hole. What is the best way to make 0 gauge fit?

I seen this but not really sure ?

Also How big of a fuse do I need ? I have JBL BP600.1 600 W amp.

thanks,

Blake

It's how you would have to do it if you were running 2 amps. I would get a fused block though that can take 1/0 in and 4ga out.

trim it to fit, buy a reducer, or buy a distro...

I like trimming, as it was the only option I just listed that didn't include the word buy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Add up the fuses on your amp. Ie if 1 fuse has fuses totaling 70 and another 35, then you get the closest for each, so in 1 chamber youd have anywhere from 65-80 and in the other 25-45. The one at the front should be the total, so if you use a 60 and a 40 then you should have 100. You can go abit higher or lower.

If you have lower, than it will just blow the fuse, if you have higher, than the fuses at the amps will blow.
