wire and fuse suggestion

[rollerdj 10+ year member]

I know there was a sticky about this at one time. (or at least i think there was) anyhow, going to be installing my new amps and i need to know what size wire and, what i should fuse it at. the amps i'm gonna be using is a orion 1200d and a 2002. i'm pretty set on 1/0 awg, but i really don't know what fuse size to use.

ps, i'm ordering this later today from knu //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

depends on the wire you're getting from knu (KLM, eko, or kol.) Knu's site tells you what the limit of each wire is, so grab the fuse accordingly.

i couldn't find the wires current capacity. i don't wanna go much more than what the amp's are capible of.

Assuming your amps do 1200wrms and 200wrms, that means 1400wrms at full tilt. 1400/12 = 116.667 amps

Grab yourself a 120 amp fuse.
