Original_Eric Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Definitely use 0 gauge wire. Maybe even 0/0? I run 4 gauge and I have a 100 amp fuse. So id definitely get a higher rated fuse.

OldsBoomer Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 run 0 guage and a bigger fuse.. 80 amps is hardly anything. If your goin to be running two of those amps i say get a 250 amp fuse Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raytard Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 use good 4 guage, and give each one its own power/ground. if you already have a 4g run, its going to be cheaper and easier to just double it up. good 4 guage can have a 100 amp fuse, since the amp has 90a, it should be more than enough but once theres two of those, your electrical is going to take a beating, and it will be time to start thinking about alts and batts Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raytard Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 250a fuses are called ANL style, its the square one with prongs on either side and while you can remove the 4g and re run 0 and get a 2 distro blocks and butcher your nice long 4g run to hook up those amps, just doing another 4g run is cheaper and easier by a long shot. if you decide to ditch those amps and upgrade, you're going to be running a rear batt and such anyway.
