What is the fuse amounts total per amp, example like 80 amps for your sub and 30 amps for comp amp

i was thinking about getting this one since it has a digital voltage meter.

Do you have lil fuses on the side of the amp? If so there might be more than one and then you add them up to find the total number of amps... OR do you have them externally fused?

i did not get the sub amp yet and i don't have anything installed yet. i can find out the comp amp's fuse later on tonight or tomorrow when i take a look at it. too lazy to go upstairs..i just want to get everything at once so i can get everything done in about a week.

 

[05gliguy 10+ year member]

yeah, i hear ya... if you have more questions it would be faster to talk at the junkyard in the chatbox

 

[blimblam 10+ year member]

haha ok. i always have these windows open and check periodically. thanks for your help.

 

[05gliguy 10+ year member]

no prob

 

[blimblam 10+ year member]

wait, wouldn't i need 2 in and 2 out for the battery also?

battery and big 3 wires in and 2 wire for amps out??

 

[05gliguy 10+ year member]

nah man, your distro is probably going to go in your trunk. There you would connect the 4 ga in and the 4 and 8 ga out. The big 3 wires all stay in the hood... Also 4 ga wire can only hold 150 amps so if your total amps is greater than that for both amps you might want to reconsider your power wire

 

[blimblam 10+ year member]

oh, newbie me thought that the distroblock would go by the battery..ok. that clears it out.

You DO need an inline fuse between the battery and the distro block, though, don't forget. This usually goes within 18" or so of the battery. DON'T omit this important part or you risk serious damage to your car if something goes wrong, and possibly burning the car up entirely. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
