New member Username: LickwidPA Post Number: 4 Registered: May-04 | I am reading the manual and it says wiring, 4/8 guage, thicker if planning for additional amps, 12 guage for the remote on. Do i need to use 12 g, or can i use 16g? Also the manual says use same size fuse for fuse holder at the batt. than the amp uses. my fuse holder is 80 amp, on amplifier it is 40, so should i get 40 amp fuses for the fuse holder? and will the fuse holder that org came with 80 amp fuses work with 40 amp fuses? |
