i have two amps and wondering if i just have two run two power wires from the battery or if there is some peice that would make it so that the power would just go into the peice and be redistributed into two even signals or am i just dreaming lol
and with two jl 500/1s would i have two upgrade my battery/alt or just one of them or not at all
Um your really close on the redistribution thing, it's called a distribution block lol, search that on ebay you will get 100s of results. On the fuse just make sure it matches the max power handling of your wire, you will prolly have to run 2 gauge....maybe 4 i don't remember, check the the12volt.com. You prolly need to upgrade your alternator, you can get by with that and stock battery as long as you have the car running while your system is playing most of the time. If your car had a nice big stock alt you might be able to get by though if you don't play at full volume for a long period of time...
Run a length of 2ga with an inline 150 A fuse to a dist block near the amps with dual 4ga coming off to each amp. Upgrade your battery to a yellow top Optima and if your stock alt puts out 100A and you aren't running pure sine you should be cool but it may dim a bit at night so run a 1 farad cap. Polo..
always fuse at the battery. this protects your 2 gauge. in order to protect your 4 gauge you should also consider fusing at the dblock, some people do.
whichever wire you use say a 2 gauge from the battery, the fuse at the battery protects that. There are fused d-blocks, available get one of those and fuse accordingly. in-line fuse protects your two gauge, fused d-block protects whichever wire you run from it.
indont have a fused d block just a regular one but i have the fuses and fuse holders so is it --fuse---------fuse--d block========== or --fuse----------d block=======and a fuse on each wire
Are the amps fused themselves (fuses on amps)? If not then use a 300A on the 1/0 ga, approx 12-14" from battery (shorter the better) then use a 75A for each amp on the 4 ga from the block. Polo..
