Yes.

Does your amp have 4 inputs or 8 gauge inputs? If they are 4 awg inputs I would make it 4 awg.

No idea it's a old amp and can't find anything on it

Total Mobile Audio 440.4

Check if the 8 gauge fit snug or if there is room for more wire.

how can I check it's one of the ones where I had to clamp a terminal on it and slide it in and screw it down on the terminal ?

Ok. Then the 4 awg should fit with the right terminal.

I can't really tell how big the fuses are but they look like 25s. you can get away with 8 gauge but if you can fit 4, then go with that. terminals look big enough for 4 gauge fork lugs

Personally I wouldn't go with an AGU style fuse block, I would find an ANL or Mini ANL fuse block and distribution block.

I would get this fuse block for under the hood and just choose the 250a fuse option

and this for in the rear to distribute the power accordingly. Choose the 200a fuse and 50a for the other.

Why would he fuse above the wire rating???

He's upgrading to 1/0 awg. 250 amp is not above 300 amp(OFC) and it's the same as 250 amp(CCA).

Not to mention, 150 on 4 awg is at 20' not 4 foot like he is going to be running. The 200a fuse comes from the T1500 manual.

im upgrading to 1/0 AWG CCA

so it can handle 250 amps if im reading correctly

so 250 amp fuse under hood

200 for the 1500bdcp

50 for the TMA 440.4?
