Wiring for my amps..

[Nvr2loud22 1]

Okay so im hooking up my new system and i dont know what to get for my fuses or my distribution block. Im going to run 3 amps connected to a powermaster D1200 battery. An alpine 650 mono, 2 channel Rockford punch 550x2, and a Sundown SAE 1200D. What distribution blocks would work? Fuses? Gauge sizes? How would i hook up the battery to the amps and other battery? Anyway, any help will help. Thanks everybody.

since you are running 3 diffent amps i would recommend using this fused distro, i have in the past and it works quite nicely and very easy to install

i would use 4gauge for all 3 amps and use 1/0 into the fused distro.

as for fuse sizes i like to match the fusing on the amp its self. so if the sae1200 has 90 amps of fusing then use a 90amp fuse! just look at the amps and add up there fuses to get a total number and use that to determine what to fuse each lead from the distro block!

as for hooking up your d1200 just hook it in parellel to the front battery (positive to positive and negative to negative) and be sure to use 2 fuses on the run of positive wire! one fuse holder near each battery to be safe! and i would recommend using 1/0 wire to wire the batteries up. the more runs the better as long as you can fit them all!!

here is the fuse hold i use and i like to use a 250-300 amp fuse in it!

enjoy

He only has three amps but they are all mono, he was just saying 550x2 (how much power per channel). What all equipment will you be running to these amps?

[ppiflat10s 3]

his fosgate is a 2 channel, but Im a little curious to what the two different mono amps are for? only thing I could think of is the alpine on some beastly midbass drivers, but youd want them in stereo wouldnt you.

Okay so i cancelled the alpine 650 and went with an older amp i found in my closet. Its a TMA 250. So I'm going to run that Sundown to my sub, the TMA to my front drivers, and the Rockford 2 channel to two Wake board tower speakers put up in the back. I'm having a bar welded in the back so they can hang. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7142_Infinity+6000M.html There is the link to the speaks. Will that work? The only thing is is that i don't know drivers to run in the front? its a 97 4runner. any ideas?

[jcarter1885 995]

I know its to each its own, but why those and in your car? If your just looking for loud all around there are other things out there to get the job done.

[mccleery3 166]

Wake board speakers?.....WOW!! I'm sure someone here could help you find something better as well.

[CrazyKenKid 64]

he wants something unique! i wonder how they will perform in a car!!

umm you might need more CCA (cranking amps lol) maybe get a XS power d3100 or the d2700 d2400 or even the 5100. or a kinetik hc2000 or hc2400!! or 2 of those yellow tops! l;)

More info will be needed besides Im running 2000 watts, what battery will be needed. Read noob posting guidelines so you have an understanding on how to get accurate answers and the most positive feedback.

All im trying to do is to have speakers loud enough to hear over the sub. So i thought that two tower speakers would do the trick. Any other ideas? I hate music when its straight bass. I like being able to hear the lyrics.

[CrazyKenKid 64]

put a pair of COMPONENT speaker in your doors! or even those HORNE tweeters!!! and give them about 100rms and you will be like woow i can hear the music and the bass!!! and if you need a pair of comps i will be selling mine soon lol!!!

Read the pm (personal message) I sent you. Check out madisound.com or parts-express.com for speakers and tweeters or you might need to invest in a pair of horns (Image Dynamics, they get loud off of low power from what I heard.
