I will be running two seperate amps. One for the components up front and one for the 10" sub in the back. The one amp will be doing the almost full capacity for the fronts, 150RMS X 2, this amp has 1 40AMP fuse on it. The other(coustic 400SE) is for a small 10" JL sub which is 125RMS. Not sure on the fuse size but there are two of them if that makes any difference(don't have the amp yet to see what fuse size, sorry). Anyways, I have a 4AWG amp kit now and could pick up a bit of 8AWG for each amp from the distro block. Will this be sufficient?
As for the main fuse(s), what size should I be using? The kit came with a 60 AMP fuse. The battery I'm using isn't high end at all, its the 2 highest level at CDN tire. 750 CCA at 38º C and 675CCA at 0ºC. Reserve capacity of 120 minutes. Not sure if any of that information will help, when I was reading the online manual for the coustic, it said something about a fuse at roughly 50% of the amp hour rating, I don't know what this is.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
