First install

First install
- My amp is an Audioque1200D
- Subs are MTX audio 10" (can be found at futurshop)
1. What size of fuse do I need for my inline fuse holder.
2. I have 4gauge wire, how many runs if more than one do I need to run?
3. How do I wire my subs so they are at two ohms.
4. What do I set my amp to so I don't blow my subs?
5. Where would I look to find how I can go about running my wire from my battery to the back seat of my truck where my amp will be located?
6. How do I work or installed the bass ****?
7. What could I use as a good ground for this setup or should I just run strait back to the battery? I have about 80' of wire.
8. In the future I would like to upgrade my subs; what type of 10" subs can I get that would be perfect for this amp?
Sorry for all the questions. I am just getting to the end of my planning and time to build and I am hardly ready. I'm a newb. :P

What kind of vehicle?
1&2. Your amp is rated with 3 40amp fuses, so I'd run one run of 2ga wire unless you plan to add more later then I'd go 1/0 right away and save the trouble later down the road. As for inline fusing. 3-40amp fuses = 120amp fuse. Pretty sure your local shop will have 125amp ANL fuses.
3. How many voice coils do your subs have, and how many ohms?
4. Set your amp to match the RCA voltage of your HU
5. Find a good grommet in the firewall that will accommodate your size wire or else find a suitable location and drill your own.
6.The bass **** is simply plug and boost

1. What size of fuse do I need for my inline fuse holder.
Anything around 80-100 amp is fine
2. I have 4gauge wire, how many runs if more than one do I need to run?
Run one 4 guage to a distribution block
3. How do I wire my subs so they are at two ohms.
if you have Dual voice coil subs and they are 4 ohms each just wire it in parallel by connecting + together and then - together
4. What do I set my amp to so I don't blow my subs?
Set the gain properly, and allow your subs break in time
5. Where would I look to find how I can go about running my wire from my battery to the back seat of my truck where my amp will be located?
Usually you would run it under the carpet or underneath along the door sills
6. How do I work or installed the bass ****?
Plugs into amp

That amp is capable of some great clean power with good electrical.
I highly suggest the use of 1/0 wiring and the BIG 3 done. If you plan on upgrading in the future, and extra batt in the trunk (nothing wild) would be great.
