[QUOTE="XanderMoser, post: 2971709, member: 574859"] Are those RMS numbers on the wattages? If so, you should be running 0 gauge, minimum. Probably 0/2 to be safe I would think. If those are peak wattages, get us some real RMS numbers. Then we can help. The sizes of the fuses in the distro block have nothing to do with amp size. The fuses in the distro block are used to protect the wires coming out of the distro block because they are usually smaller than the main power wire. Whenever you go down in wire size, a new fuse is needed. This is because if that wire shorts out, the main fuse won't blow before the wire starts on fire or something. [/QUOTE]
