fritosaregood Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Seems like a not so smart amp design, you could do a run of 0 gauge to the amp fuse the 0 gauge. then use a distro block to make it into 2 4 gauge wires Quote seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Performer Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) You have to put a fuse in no matter what amp it is. You put it on the positive cable coming off of the battery, try and keep it as close to the battery as possible. Are you new to this I'm guessing? EDIT: just re read this, Gotcha now. Depending on what amperage the recommended fuse is, I would suppose you just want it coming off of that main feed, then after splitting the heavy gauge into the two 4 gauge you can run them straight in. Or, if it's more feasible you could have two runs of 4 gauge straight off of the battery to the amp, but both must be fused, and in that case you would use two fuses that add up to the recommended amperage.

The Performer Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 why? Is it two boards internally bridged? No if I'm correct it's for doing exactly what I was saying about running two runs of 4 gauge from the battery. In the 06 models of the HCCA the manual said that you could use either one.

micahmye Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 No if I'm correct it's for doing exactly what I was saying about running two runs of 4 gauge from the battery. In the 06 models of the HCCA the manual said that you could use either one. Your right dude, The funny thing is that the fuse holder included has only two 4ga terminals (in/out). I want to feed it 2 4ga feeds but theres only one fuse, I have KnuKonceptz 4ga from the batteries and if you know KnuKonceptz their wiring is pretty thick and there is no way I can fit two 4ga leads in that 4ga terminal of the fuse holder. In the manual it says 250amp fuse is recommended. which is what it comes with, but I would think I should utilize both sets of power terminals which means to me I need to fuse both positive lines. Which means I need another fuse holder, Am I correct?

Chris from Mi Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 i've got an orion 2500D, went and got some $10 distro's from 1/0 to (3) 4 gauge, i just fused the 1/0 in the front and called it a day Quote Orion 2500D, Jbl Gto 75.4 Team Wolfpack Audio FSQ 15" d2, mb quart xover, tweets peerless 6.5 mids Alpine cda-105 optima up front Knu klm 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
