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.
 
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.
 
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 :)
