hey guys, ill wire all my car this weekend (i hope), and i want to know how many amperes i need to use in the fuse before the firewall.....

i know that for the c400.4 i need to use 60A fuse. but ill connect 2 amplifiers in the future, so i was thinking abt use 120A fuse close to the battery and later 50-60A in the distribuitor (one for each amplifier)

is that ok?

    yeah, the 120 near the battery will be fine, if you short out the power wire it's gonna try to pull a LOT more than that, and the fuse'll blow... the fused d-block is good too.
