Louisiana Bass Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Fuses are too small, and wire is probably too small. What gauge wire do you have? Quote N8. No homo...unless you want there to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJustinDanger Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Fuses are too small, and wire is probably too small. What gauge wire do you have? I have 8 gauge running throughout, but I just ordered some memphis 4 gauge. The amp says to take 30a fuses and it "says" 1ohm stable, but I dont believe that...Should I put two 40 in it?

MrJustinDanger Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I went to autozone yesterday and bought the best gold top they had. Will the big three reduce my voltage drop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) I have a 4 gauge ground directly to the chasis! You have 8 gauge throughout but have a 4 gauge ground? Edit: are we talking about the amps fuses or the power line fuses? Edited June 28, 2011 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.
