Wires and fuses

[cccullen]

Over this weekend and the next weekend I want to try to get my car wired up and my wife's car all set up.

I would just like to know what kind of fuses and how many I would need for for her car.

Wife's CRV:

MTX RT2100X
RMS Power (12.5 Volts DC):
• 50 watts x 2 into a 4 Ohm load with less than .1% THD
• 100 watts x 2 into a 2 Ohm load with less than 1% THD
• 200 watts bridged into a 4 Ohm load with less than 1% THD
Dynamic Power (IHF-202 Standard) measured at 14.4 Volts DC:
• 85 watts x 2 into a 4 Ohm load
• 140 watts x 2 into a 2 Ohm load
• 280 watts bridged into a 4 Ohm load

MTX RT4180X
• 45 watts x 4 into a 4 Ohm load with less than .1% THD
• 60 watts x 4 into a 2 Ohm load with less than 1% THD
• 120 watts bridged x 2 into a 4 Ohm load with less than 1% THD
Dynamic Power (IHF-202 Standard) measured at 14.4 Volts DC:
• 55 watts x 4 into a 4 Ohm load
• 100 watts x 4 into a 2 Ohm load
• 200 watts bridged x 2 into a 4 Ohm load

Should I fuse near the battery and also near the amp? what size fuses should i use for her setup? Same question for my car as well.


My Expy:

NINe.1
NINe.4

well wouldnt it be good 2 get one bt the battery and then get a fused distrubition block

[cccullen]

I'm going to get some d-blocks but i just wanted to know how many amps should the fuse be up by the battery?

[Adrian]

isnt jus 1

[cccullen]

no, what i meant by amps was amperes not amplifier. I just would like to know how many amperes the fuses should be for the 2 set ups i'm doing for my car and the wife's car.

for your wives probably like one 80amp agu fuse so you dont have to fork out too much cash on it... then for yours at least one 150amp anl fuse maybe a 200... since you are pulling like 1500 watts.
