[QUOTE="evoxbeck, post: 8072393, member: 653846"] Alright, so I have been doing this for a few years. Just in the subwoofer installation area.. I have an MB Quart ONYX 1.1000D(1ohm stable 1000watts) pushing an Alpine Type-R(1000rms)... I have 4awg power and ground etc. I am about to upgrade to the brand new JVC Arsenal with the vari-color illumination on every button(160), before I install my Polk Audio PA660 4channel(75watt x 4ch). I was wondering how exactly to wire a power and ground distribution block.. I understand the grounds simple(no fuse needed) plug and play ordeal. I was going to run 0awg from the battery to the trunk then branch 2 or 4awg to my sub amp and 4 or 8awg to my 4channel. My question is within the fuse ordeal. My 4 channels 2x25fuses, mono block is 1x80 maxi fuse. 1.)Do I need to have the distribution block for power with a fuse? 2.)Do I need a inline fuse 12-18" from the battery accomodating the 130amps or fuses on the amps. Or should that inline be 250amp? 3.)Do I need an inline after the distribution block(between the branch off of the distribution to each amps)? 4.)If the distribution block has 130amp total fuse, am I good? 5.)I have found distribution blocks with, where you can have say 1x80 and 1x60 in it) is that dumb? How many inline fuses are required within using a distribution block for two amps. Should it go: 12-18" 0awg-inline fuse(130-150amp)-16' 0awg-power dist block- branch off to mono-4' 4awg-inline 80a-4' 4awg-amp & 4channel branch off: 4' 8awg-inline 50a-4' 8awg-amp? I hope that isn't tooo confusing? Thanks, evoxbeck [/QUOTE]
