k im just waiting to get my comps and 2 pg amps in...but my question is the size of the fuse i should use..
the pg x600.1 recommends a 60A fuse and has no internal fuses...the pg 4.0:2 reccomends a 25A fuse and also has a fuse on it..
what size fuse should i put on the fuse block? and what size fuse should i put in the distro blocks?
thanks

Use an 80amp from the battery less then 18'' away, this will save your car. Use a 60amp and 30amp fuse in the distribution block, this will save your amps.

Good plan, higher amp fuse is never a good idea.
