[QUOTE="Kickstand, post: 8737301, member: 681842"] Don't listen to that peak power marketing BS RMS is the only thing you should be paying attention to If your running a single voice coil 4ohm sub then 225 watts is all your going to get out of the amp. Which lines up with the rating on the sub so ... If you were running it at 1 ohm I would say get a 75 or 100 amp fuse but since your running it at 4 ohms your not drawing as much power. If it was me I would go with a 60 amp fuse but you can go higher if you want. You can probably get away with that 8 gauge kit but I don't recommend it. 4 gauge is your best bet. If its your first install the remember to run the power and the RCA's on separate sides of the car Keep your ground as short as possible, clean the paint off around the ground and don't just screw it into the metal Find a bolt that attaches to the frame of the car [/QUOTE]
