Pretty much just springs and shackles man.

It's not his fusing that I'd be concerned about, it's the distroblock. More than a few instances I've seen people come into the shop with melted blocks and blown amps because their bass shakes the studs loose. They didn't have the power OP has so can you imagine what some real subs in a good box will do? Once he throws the fuses in he'll be good to go as far as safety is concerned but why not just skip all that hassle and throw in an extra battery and reap the benefits of that?I'm only suggesting you run a smaller fuse so your car doesn't go up in flames as you try to give it all its got.
for some reason i dont like any of your advice for this guy...... you have good intentions i believe ...... but i think you may be slightly uneducated about electrical.... not tryin to be a dick or bash you at all cuz i have alot to learn also..... but im pretty sure he would be fine on a small run of 4 gauge as long as his ground wire is short too.... and yes i would fuse after the dist. block also with a 100 amp fuse..... you will normally smell your wire getting hot before it goes up in flames.... ( i did it a LOOOONG time ago b4 i knew anything) unless its in a trunk. definitly keep your eye on voltage cuz voltage drop will be your worst enemy i would think...... just my 2 cents
SlamminSL1....again not tryin to stab at you just sayin what i think from your posts.... where you located in ct? im in west hartford
Shit it'll even save you the hassle of ripping it all apart when you do eventually get the extra battery that you want.

Tune for the brown note! 8Hz

Well you can go with airbags if you're a bad ass. Are you a bad enough dude to lay some frame?
-
I think people have missed my point, and I apologize for not being clear. All I guess I'm trying to say is, why isn't the real issue being addressed that OP is running a single run of 0ga, which yes, is absolutely suitable for the amount of amperage he will use with music OR burps, but he's running his amplifiers off probably a generic distro with allen studs. Non fused to top it all off... People should be telling him to ditch the distroblock and throw in a battery and some fuses first.

That's whats up. That' how you stay in business!

Anytime broski. For real though man, search Google for a 2011 Silverado lowering kit.
There's one. Not to be rude, but, what kind of job do you have where you can afford a beautiful 2011 Silverado but you're too inept to search Google.

Hey, I'm not going to start busting out calculations to prove to you that it isn't smart to run two powerful amps off of one run of 0. It's common sense that you don't do shit like that.
Would you try to run your whole house off of one outlet and one extension cord? No, because it's ridiculous. Shit, now try to run your whole house off of one fuse, might as well huh?
-
I understand what he's running. I also understand that he's running two amplifiers on one distroblock with no fuses after it.
What I don't understand is why yall are telling him that he should totally install his expensive amplifier on inadequate wiring.
-
I'm not surprised.Crap that makes him money apparently.
-
You're not running two amplifiers off the same run of 0 like the OP.No playing with fire here. Fuse the 4 gauge and be done with it. I have the same setup 1/0 running to block in back with 4 awg running to sundown sax-1200d with no problems. And I'm pretty sure my amp is pulling more then 1100 watts at a steady 14 volts.
-
I feel you, and it can be done. But is it safe and will it provide optimal power? Hell no.i mean tbh, i ran the same exact set up with a MRP-M1000 and never had any problems.
but i see where you're coming from SlamminSL1

Since when did waking up in the morning and doing your job equate to you being GOOD at your job? Doesn't matter how many tours he did with crap lyrics and crap flow, it's still crap.He blows? How many tours did you perform at this summer?
-
I would rather run a fuse in between 4ga than no fuse at all on some 0ga.4awg will be fine. But why spend $5 on a fuse when you can buy a foot 0f 0awg for maybe $6 at an audio shop and issue fixed.
Seems like a lot of yall love to play with fire...

Shit bumps though

Jeezy is alright but MGK blows.

Sundown.

No problem. Its no fun burning out gear, and it's really no fun when it's a simple mistake.
-
I'm only suggesting you run a smaller fuse so your car doesn't go up in flames as you try to give it all its got.
-
I would fuse it a little smaller just because.
-
Yeah then I definitely wouldn't install that amplifier until you have the necessary wiring and fuses.
Because you're running two amplifiers off of one run of 0ga. The Crescendo is going to pull serious amperage alone and you have another amplifier pulling some power at the same time. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but I'd rather be motherfucking safe than motherfucking sorry, especially when dealing with a nice amplifier like the 2K.
That's not too good. I'd invest in some wire and fuses if I where you man.uhh i lemme say this. i have 0awg run from the front to back, and a distribution block for my mono and 2 channel, the 8awg is about 1.5feet and the 4awg wire for the mono is like 10 inches.
And another battery.
please explain why you think this is no good?
Riddle me this; Is your distribution block fused?
i'ev actually read numerous people who have owned the bc2k say it is extremely efficient on power, but neverless it is a 2k amp.
and the distribution block itself isnt fused, just the 200amp fuse by the battery in the front.

That's fine then, I'd run a fuse in the middle just for extra security.Should be fine. Although I think it goes without saying that 0 gauge would be ideal
Edit: How long is your run of 4 gauge? That would be the biggest determining factor.
uhh,,, not even a foot, maybe 10 inches?
What do i need?
