T.A.G. Audio Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 So I just got my new XS power d680 and will be installing it this weekend. I have 4 guage from the battery in the front to the battery in the back with a 150 amp fuse up by the front battery. I know how to run all the wire and grounds. My question is do I need any more fuses except for the one under the hood? The amp is a sae 1200d so it has fuses in it. But do I need a fuze from the positive from the xs battery into the amp? 03 Ford f150 2 Sa8 v2s Ap 1800d...

T.A.G. Audio Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Posted November 28, 2012 And should it be closer to the battery or amp or does it matter? 03 Ford f150 2 Sa8 v2s Ap 1800d...

ric006 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 yeah 150 is good since the amp uses 5x30 and you just need to put it anywhere in the middle ot the amp and battery

Miguels Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 you also need a fuse by the back battery.. even though its fused at the front.. the reason for the fuses is if for some reason the wire grounds out the car wont burn down.. the way you have it if you do get a short the front battery will cut off as it shorts but the back battery will still send power to the wire and will burn your car down my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
T.A.G. Audio Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Posted November 28, 2012 So one fuze by front battery, one fuse by back battery, and one fuse from back battery to amp? So 3 in total? 03 Ford f150 2 Sa8 v2s Ap 1800d...
