Crazy 8s Drums Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I am going to add a monoblock amp, around 2kw RMS, as to have two amps going...the 5 channel rockville and the new 2kw monoblock (undecided)...and add another 12" sub. I will be replacing the 4ga run from the distro block (right next to the front battery) with a 0 gauge run and moving the distro block to the trunk near the second battery. The distro block has 4 mini-ANL fuse channels. What I am unsure of is what size fuse should I use for the 0 gauge run, and should I use two fuses (one at front battery and another right before the distro block.) If I am running a 1400 watt RMS 5 channel amp and a 2kw monoblock, should I use an approximately 350 amp fuse on the 0 gauge? Also, should I run the 0 gauge to the second battery first, before the distro block, or should I use a 4 gauge circuit from the distro block for the second battery?

Joshdashef Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 What type of wire are you running? Welding, OFC, CCA?

Crazy 8s Drums Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Currently 4 gauge OFC. I might use CCA 0 gauge, but could go with OFC if it justified the price. Orion XTR amplifiers Skar subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshdashef Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Just now, Crazy 8s Drums said: Currently 4 gauge OFC. I might use CCA 0 gauge, but could go with OFC if it justified the price. I'm using 300 amp fuses for my 1/0 sky high but it could take up to 325. Depending on the CCA you get it would be around 250 amps.
