andym85 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 huh...then i dont know why you would be blowing fuses in the distro block b/c it looks like its setup fine to me....unless the fuse on your amp is rated higher than 160amps...which i doubt...idk...

Clif Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) i would try just running one power wire off one fuse that has the same or a 10 amp higher rating then the fuse on your amp.

jack Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 i would just avoid the fuses all together and run a 4 gauge straight off of the side of that distro. also you might be blowing them because of your choice of wire size all together. small wire =resistance=heat=burning up fuses. you might want to jump up your power line from the battery atleast to 2 gauge.
