going to run 4 AWG from '+' off battery, thro a water resistant fuse holder then thro car to the boot (somehow!!!)
into a 'Distribution Block 1 to 4', running x2 8 AWG cables from the block into a '2 Way Fuse Holder' from the fuse holder x1 cable to amp 1 (to power 6x9's, other cable to amp 2 (to power 12" sub in box) I plan to attatch the ground (black) cable 4 AWG to a good earth point in boot. Questions. 1. wot fuse (i.e. 30A/40A???) should i use in the holder by the battery? 2. wot fuses (i.e. 30A/40A???) should i use in the holder in the boot? 3. how should i connect the earth cable to each of the amps? 4. is my set up correct or should i do it another way? 5. is there a good place where the power cable can thread thro from the engine bay to inside the car? |
1 - what size fuse protects your amp(s)?
2 - see 1 ;) - a quick description of amps and setup would help :D 3 - I common up my earths in an unfused distribution block (8awg to block, 4awg to chassis) 4 - fine - I go from 4AWG straight into a fused 4 way distribution block, but it depends what' you've got! 5 - yep, the aircon grommet Cheers, Nick. |
amp 1 is rockford fosgate 2030 series, cant see any fuses for it tho
other amp is sound lab 200W x 2 with x2 fuses that have 30 on them |
I'd chuck 30a on each of them to be safe.
Cheers, Nick. |
cheers
priced up stuff from maplins works out @ £40 for the fuses/wiring/connectors etc also priced up from a stereo shop, same stuff worked out nearly £150!!!!! |
maplins is the way to go, but 40 quid seems cheap unless they've got a sale on. Some of their 'kit' wiring boxes are lesser quality than the cables, fuses, terminals bought separately. I would expect nearer 70, but 150 quid?????
