Default What fuse size... cap too?

And after thinking it over in my head and realizing that the 9.2x is 80amp and 9.4 is 50amp I have decided to upgrade everything from the battery back.

Will run

batt==anl fuse==0awg wire to the rear===distro blck===4awg to both 9.4 and 9.2x

also I might get me an optima battery later and might get a cap to what the hell do it right so if I upgrade again it won't be as bad. Right now I am trying to figure what amp fuse to get. If I got the 80amp and 50amp for the amps I would think a 150amp fuse after the battery would work but not 100% sure which way to go. But I will stick with the Knukonceptz stuff

What size fuse do ya'll think I should get?? Also should I get the fused distribution block to be safe? Also I can get the Tsunmi 2 Farad Cap for like $99 wondering if I should get that while I am at it?

150

And no.

Don't get a cap.

You don't need it.

Once you get to the point of a Nine.1 + Nine.2X you might start worrying about dimming, but yours should be fine.

alright, different setup, same questions :D

i also want to run 0 awg from the battery back into a distro block that will split it into two 4 awg wires. one will go to a JBL 1200.1 running a 10" alpine type-x. The other will run to a JBL PX300.4 running rainbow soundline components up front and rainbow soundline coaxials in the back.

what fuse size should be placed by the battery? are fuses necessary after the distribution block between it and the amps? if so, what size is needed there?

I want to eDead the inside. Doors, behind the rear speakers, and the hatch (basically, just like "justmyluck"). approximately how much v1SE2 should I buy?

The baffles for the interior speakers that eD sells... do those only fit their speakers or can I use them to install my rainbow speakers?

Realistically, for the under the hood fuse, as long as the two amps fusing adds up to less than 250A, use whatever size is 1 up from what they added to.

If they have external fusing, no need for distro block fuses.

eDead for doors, rear speakers, hatch, looking at around 70 ft²

Baffles, just call and tell me how big the hole needs to be

Are you trying to say I shouldn't have put a cap here:



And that I should have put an alt on my hand?

Here's a current picture of what capacitors do to your hand:



Scars are fun.

I also like to think of it like covering a gaping hole in the wall from your idiot friend being drunk and falling with a poster.
