Silver Member Username: SymplestilesStockton, CA Usa Post Number: 413 Registered: Aug-04 | ok i understand that i need a distribution block to run both amps, figured that out recently, but what size and kind? i am currently running 4g wire to my JBL 600.1 amp..would i need a d-block that goes from 1g to 2 4g? or 4g to 2 8g? Also, where abouts does the d-block go when connected to the power wire under the hood? and do i need two fuse holders or just 1 for both amps? i was looking on knukoncpetz for d-blocks and was hoping there was a 4g to 2 4g, seams like that would be the easiest..somebody please clear this up for me. thanks! |

Post Number: 4589 Registered: Jul-05 | add both wrms of both amps together then distance of wire will tell u what G of wire to buy - if ur wrms rec 4 ex a 2G wire then u buy a 2 splitting into 2x4 g dist block . A distro block like i descibed above has 2 fuses - 1/amp . U should also buy a main fuse that will put installed nearest as possible to ur batt ,this is a 1st protection . Also ur ground wires off both amp should be less than 3ft & thickness of ground wire should be = to the thickness of the power wire going into each amp ... www.bcae1.com has ur answers too .... |
