K. so check it out.
i bought a kicker cvt 12" my alpine puts out 60wattsx 2 channels rms(i think) for now i have the amp bridged to the 4 ohm kicker. its decent but i need more.
i ran 8 gauge wire for the alpine with a 40 amp agu fuse or whatever it is called (glass fuse)
i want to get a jbl gto subwoofer amp that puts out 425watts rmsx 1 channel per 4 ohms. this requires 4guage for sure.
when i buy the d-block does it have to be 2 guage since i have to combine 8 guage into 4? and what amp fuse should i have in between the battery and d-block? and what amp fuse should i have between the d-block and the subwoofer amp. i've heard that anything over 100 amps will destroy a 4 guage wire therefore supporting my thoughts in needing a 2 guage power wire for the d block.
lastly. how the hell do i fit 4 gauge wire through the rubber grommet for my hood release cable. or is that just not happening? it was tough just to get the 8 gauge to go through it.
sorry about my lack of electronics knowledge. i'm sort of new to this but learning very quickly as i go.
thanks guys for all your help
