take a look at the link and tell me if i forgot somthing

im gunna use 8 feet of the 1/0 wire from the kit for big 3. then use the remaining 10 feet to my distroblock then the 4 guage to the amps (mb quart 2400, orion 8004)

is it better for the fuses in the distro block to be big or smaller then the amplifiers total # of amps? each amp is 90A is it ok if i put two 100A in the distroblock?

its fine on mines, just watch your gains

fuses can actually hold more current than rated for, for a short time, exceeding their rated capacity..

"Fast blow" fuses require at least 150% of their rated current to "fast blow". They will carry their rated current for 5 min continuously before blowing.

so each of my amps is 90amps so if i have 2 100a fuses in my distro block is that good?

use what the 4 guage can handle like my knukonceptz wire can handle 150amps before melting. The fuses on your amps protects your amps the fuses on the distros protect the wires

i would use 80A fuses unelss this is a comp setup, since like stated above it takes alot to blow a fuse and using 100A it will actually let any excessc urrent get to your amps possibly harming them. its always better to go alittle smaller unless of course your blowing fuses like candy which si unlikely.

what do u have in ur distro block? is 80a for both the fuses in the distro good i will be using 4 AWG Blue Kolossus Power Wire knulonceptz. what should my big fuse at the battery be?

im running kolossus 4awg as well, im running 150A fuse at the battery and 2 80A fuses in my distro

is fuse at the battery suposed to be the total number of amps the ur amplifiers do? in my case 180a

The key is that it should be no larger than the maximum current capacity of the power wire that it is installed in. 150 should be plenty for you. There is no way that your amps will draw 150A between them (unless you are an SPL comp kinda guy) so it should be plenty.
