[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1305685, member: 561023"] What are the model numbers of both of these amps? I ask because what you are quoting us are 'Peak' power ratings. Realistically it is best to simply disregard peak ratings as they are nothing more than numbers provided as part of a marketing strategy and your real-world application will yield nothing close to those output levels. Like forbidden has already posted...you'll want to use the combined fuse rating of both of those amplifiers as a guide. [I](Following #s are completely arbitrary and for example only)[/I] If the monoblock has three 20a fuses in it then the maximum amperage draw of that amp is 60 amperes [20 amps X 3 fuses] If the 4-channel has two 25a fuses in it then the maximum amperage draw for that amp would be 50 amperes [25 amps X 2] The combined maximum amperage draw of both amps would be 110 amperes [60 + 50] Use that number and plug it into the table that johnecon2001 has procided for you and go from there.
