I have a Directed 2400D and right now I have 4awg wireing. How many amps should my in-line fuse be? Also how many amps should it be if I got all 1/0awg wire?

00 awg 400 amps
0 awg 325 amps
1 awg 250 amps
2 awg 200 amps
4 awg 125 amps
6 awg 80 amps
8 awg 50 amps
10 awg 30 amps
12 awg 20 amps
14 awg 15 amps
16 awg 7.5 amps

and those are MAX fuse sizes, so go below that you also have to take into accout the length.

It doesent have on board fuses. Its 2400 watts at 2ohms. I was thinking about possibly competing and running it at .75oms (the sub is dual 1.5ohm). How much power will it get at .75ohms? Heres a link of the amp http://www.drdetailshop.com/d2400d.htm

alot. people say when you cut the load in half, the wattage goes 30-40% up.

but you cant just run the amp like that, i dont think it will even last at 1 omh for a while let alone .75

^^^^^yeah, i'd run it at 1 ohm just for a burp, but 2400w rms is enough to push one good sub i think. What's your sub (s)

Yeah 2400watts would probably be enough but it's 2400 at 2ohms and my sub is dual 1.5ohm so I have it wired at 3ohm for less than 2400 watts.
