ok so ive decided im going to run seperate power wires for my 2 amps because i already have the one going back and i am just replacing the other with a 0ga wire. but my question is the fuse rating on my zx700.5 is 90 amp so should i use a 100 or 80 amp inline fuse. and the fuse rating on my XD2000 is 160 amp so should i use the 150 or 200 amp inline fuse?

you have to add the two fuse ratings together i learned the hrd way tried to run 2 54 amp amps off a 80 amp fuse it almost costed me the amps. get either a 250 or 300 amp agu fuse

im running seperate wires tho so each amp will have its own fused power wire.

why would running two 54 amp amps with an 80 amp fuse be bad? wouldnt the fuse just blow often?

yeah it blew the fuse but one time it surged one of my amps and melt the fuse holder. opps didnt red it through for the kicker run a 100 amp and for the xd2000 use a 175 amp fuse

if have to fuse with the rating of the wire not the amp... thats why amps already got fuses is the fuse your getting is to protect the wire and not start a fire and burn up your car

o true so i can use a 200 amp fuse then and not have any problems? the 0ga wire is rated for over 250 amps.

someone else was telling me that i needed to try to match the fuses on the amps. dont remember who tho.

then u should use a 250 and wont have any problems 200 amps is fine its up to you...

u dont have to match fuses on the amp... because the fuses are already there u need to protect the battery and the wire..

thats why protect the wire by using the correct fuse size for the wire and fuse it at around or less than 5 inches from the batterie
