[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8277974, member: 660781"] The suggestion about the fuse being the size of both amps is incorrect. The fuse in line with power wire close to the battery is to protect the wire itself, not the amps. I think your amps have internal fuses for protection. If an amp does not have internal fuses, you will need to put additional external fuses very close to each amp and fuse rating should be in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. Please see the link below for chart explaining what size wire you need, length, and fusing to protect the wire: [URL="http://www.the12volt.com/info/recwirsz.asp"]Recommended Power and Ground Cable Sizes & Speaker Wire Size and Length[/URL] The site below is a great resource if you're looking to understand how things work in the world of car audio: [URL="http://www.glasswolf.net/papers/"]GlassWolf's Pages[/URL] Some references to brands are outdated, but the ideas explained still hold true.
