Bronze Member Username: DavidnolenLexington, South Carolina USA Post Number: 12 Registered: May-05 | I purchased a 800 Watt Mono Block, class D, same thing. I am running 8 gauge wire to my two 12 inch 450 watt subs now. Is 8 gauge fine? I also have a 30 amp inline fuse near my battery, should I get a bigger one. I blew the inline fuse on the way home from a friends house? Should I get a 60 amp inline fuse since my new amp has two 30 amp fuses? someone help me!!! LOL |

But you also need to remember that most cars have a 105amp alternator and usually the other car functions take about 50amps. So your getting very close to maxing out your battery. Be careful. |
