dual amps
I currently have a 4 channel amp powering my speakers in my car. I intend to purchase a 12" subwoofer as well as an amplifier to power it. For my current amp, I've run a 4 gauge wire to the trunk. I'll acquire a distribution block and run 4 gauge wire to it, as well as 8 gauge wiring from the block to each amp. My question is how do I figure out the fuse size to utilize. For the present amp, I already have a 60amp fuse, and I'm not sure what size fuse I'll need to replace it with. Do I run a 120 amp fuse or keep my 60 amp fuse because the new amp would most likely require a 60 amp fuse as well? I'm pretty sure I only need a single 60 amp fuse, but I want to double-check before I go out and buy anything. Thanks.

Re: dual amps
Probably best to ask on a car audio forum, or at your local car audio shop. You'll need to know the specs for your existing equipment and for what you intend to install.

Re: dual amps
The fuse block will have individual line places where you can fuse it accordingly. Just fuse according to your amps recommended specs. Building a SQ system system starts with building a safe system. Good luck. Are you competing by any chance? Former IASCA competitor here
