nikoskostaras Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Hi everyone, In my car, I want to connect my Kole Audio KX1.5500D Amp. I know that it is not a true 3200 Wrms @1 Ohm amplifier. It has 150 Amperes fuses, so it would be something like 1600 Wrms @1Ohm. The problem My existing power cables are 1 4gauge power cable from my battery (+fuse), going back to the trunk and splitting into 2 other 4gauge cables (?)(I know that it is not correct, but....my ex audio-mechanic was not so clever I guess),the 1 going to the 4-channel amp, and the other 1 to the mono amp (currently 1 Soundstorm F1500d 50 amps fuse.) Now it's time to change the amp to the kole audio because the old one gives me only 550 true rms watts @2Ohms (checked with O-scope) so it is not enough for my Kicker L5 15. The question: I know that a 4gauge can handle something like 135 amps.If I put the Kole Audio, and adjust with the oscilloscope so that I take exactly the watts that I want (800 Watts RMS @2Ohms), the load to the cable for the mono amp will be maximum 58 Amperes (@13,8Volts) and the load for the 4-channel will be maximum 36 amperes, so a sum of 94 amperes to the main 4gauge cable that comes from the battery (I will put an 100Amperes fuse to the battery fuse case). Will I have a problem with that connection? Are the amperes ok for the cable? I don't want my car to burn in flames.... :-))))) . Please help me all..... Thank you very much. LET THERE BE BASS...!

Thank you very much. ya it will be fine, i run 1900w rms thew 4gauge fosgate with a 150a fuse its fine
