Us Amps and Wire

[Oak244 0]

Hi all, I am still waiting for my US Amps to arive, and in the mean time I am ordering new wire and other things I will need for my new install. I have 0 Awg comming from the Battery back to the trunk. I will be running a USA-300x, USA-400x, USA-600x and a USA-50. Should I run 4 or 8 awg wire to those amps Power and ground? Also should I run one large fuse, or get a distribution block with seperate fuses to control each individual amp? Just wondering what wire and hardware I should use to insure a strong safe system.

i think the older amps took 8 or 10 gauge inputs

i dont have much info on the og amps listen to splblazer.

but what i would do since you got 4 amps, get a 4 way distro block and 8 gauge all the amps

Ok Thanks. The owners manual I read online said use at least 8 awg wire for the ground and power. Just wanted to check. One thing I am confused on now, is why 2 powers and 2 grounds? Do they both have to be wired up? If so that means a lot more distribution blocks then I thought lol

i dunno why but yeh they both have ot be wired up i think it probably helps with current flow to the amp or something like that

Yeah I think so too. Since they puch large amounts of power I assume its to allow us to install 4 awg worth of wire to the amps using 2 8 awg wires. It helps keep the entire install uniform that way in my opinion. And WoooHoo got my last amp tonight! So the whole install is this.. USA-50, USA-400x, USA-600x, USA-300x! Rock ON! lol
