Random Questions about Future Install

I also recommend getting a 0ga grommet as well for the hole penetration through the firewall to keep from cutting/exposing bare wire,and to help seal the penetration.They are cheap,and can be had @Auto places as well(Orileys/Autozone) cheaper on ebay most likely.

Thats where your dist block comes to play.You get a (1)0-ga to a (2)4ga fused dist block.0ga supply from the fused under hood 0ga ANL fuse holder(waterproof)150amp will be fine,to the dist fused block.I prefer the AGU dist block,as the fuses are a bit less expensive that Maxi fuses,and easier to get IMO.

Awesome, well, last question(for now) I have two amps as you know, one will be located under the front passenger seat and of course the other in the hatch. Just to make sure I have the 'order' correct and to ensure the distances are correct/optimal.

0 gauge from battery to dist block, located under the front passenger seat. It will then output 4g to the front amp and then continue with the other output to the amp in the hatch..just making sure its okay to have the 4g power line to the hatch that long. Or if I should bring the 0g all the way to the hatch.

You can.Yet,Id recommend both amps in the rear away from dirt/debris/muddy feet/spilt accidentel sodas/water,and heat under the seat,as I have experienced over the years.Usually up under the seats the amps get pretty trashed,and can be ruined by heat(#1 killer of amplifiers)and destroyed by spills.Id run the shortest supply possible to the amps and put both in the rear to keep them in great shape, and away from others.After all..wouldnt you want your amplifiers still looking nice and performing well with the money being spent, and will also help if you sale the amps in the future.??

Point taken, so I'll run 0g all the way to the hatch and then I'll use the dist block there with short 4g feeds to the sub and front's amp. I was trying to save hatch space, but that's not a problem I'll build something to protect the amps

Thank you sincerely for all your help I am really looking forward to getting this going.

Quite welcome.Doing it yourself, is alot of fun, and a great learning experience.I recommend placing approx 5-6 washers on each foot of the amplifiers mounts/where the screw downs are, to have the amplifiers elevated just a bit so that airflow can get underneath the amps rather than mounted flat to any surface,will help keep them running cooler also.Let us know how everything turns out.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/santa.gif.e1ec9cf2e0a0dd232ad35aa594a126d0.gif
