Why Do I Keep Blowing Fuses?
#9
When I had my system I had a 125amp ANL fuse off of the battery and a fused distribution block to split power to my amps. The two guage wire supplied power to the distribution block which split into two 4 gauge wires to my amps. the JL 500/1 (500-700 watts RMS) had a 60 amp fuse and the JL 300/4 (300-400 watts RMS) had a 40 amp fuse. I never had any problems except for that one time were I grounded out the 2 gauge wire by accident which blew my 125amp fuse.

I think the 8 gauge wire is a little thin, but the reason you put a fuse on a wire is to protect the wire from starting a fire or frying your amps. s**t I had 8 gauge wire going from my mono amp to my sub.

I still have most of the wiring from my system if you want it. Let me know if your interested or if you have any more questions about systems in general.
