prob asked a few times before, but searching fuses gave me heaps of results and i'm kinda desperate for an answer...
My setup when installed...
battery > 4g cable > 80amp glass fuse > 4g cable > Dist Block > 2 x 8g cable to amps (a 700w mono and a 400w 4 channel, one of which i know has 2 x 20amp fuses and the other is internal only so I'm not sure)
I just had some work done on my car and the idiots blew my 80amp fuse some how... anyway i just replaced it with a 100amp circuit breaker fuse (think its a flat fuse inside the box?) as I was having a hell of a time getting another 80amp glass fuse. Now i'm concerned that I'm pushing something too hard or I should really rethink the boot part of the install.
Everything is working, but I suspect that if something does go wrong, the 8g wires will fry. The dist block isn't fused at all so I guess that I'm pushing 100amp over the 8g which isn't a good idea from what I've read!?
Can someone confirm or guide me in the right direction on what I should do with my setup?
At the moment I'm thinking one of two things need to happen...
A. battery > 4g cable > 100amp fuse > 4g cable > Dist Block > 2 x 8g cable with fuses on each to amps
B. battery > 4g cable > 100amp fuse > 4g cable > New Dist Block > 2 x 4g cable to amps
would I be on the right track?
Thanks
