Hi, just need a quick answer before I go buy it from the store.

I have SAX 100.4 just brought it, using 8 Gauge 4 Channel Amplifier Installation Kit from knukonceptz.com and it use 50a fuze size for the inline power, can I use differe size cause I need it fast it shorted. best buy or walmart doen't have 50a size only 60a or 80a fuse.

Sundown, Best Buy and Walmaert should not be used in the same sentence. I would run 4 gauge and an 80-100 amp fuse.

It already installed with 8 gauge, so 80-100 amp fuse is fine eventhought it came with 50a fuse?

Yes. How long are the power/ground wires?

Pal go get a 4g amp kit before you burn down your car its got 90 amps wort of fusing on it and can pull upwards of that in short bursts

8 gauge can only really support 40amps at 15-20ft.

Either you wont get full power out the amp, or it'll mess it up.

You really need 4 gauge to get the most out of that amp.

I think is about 15.5ft long, installed on my 08 accord sedan. Wonder why db-r (chris) recommend me to buy 8 gauge kits.

thank guy.

i'm confused...you ran it with 8 gauge when we said to put in 4, put in a bigger fuse size, and your amp started smoking?? I am a bit confused if that was the case. The sundown's are great amps, but contrary to what some people test them to, they are not indestructible. Run the 4 guage and get the proper fuse size and you will never regret it!

I think I said it already installed with the 8 guage, but the fuse got burn or shorted, and went back to put in new fuse it got burn again and smong comming out from the amp?

before you put a new fuse in you are supposed to figure out why it popped in the first place if you dont do that some times you pop the amp

If that is the case, would i still get it replace by warrant or it tough luck.
