Amp and Power Inverter Help

you can use a distribution block to wire everything up, it wont interfere with the amp

If you want to be extra careful you could always run a fused distrobution block.

yeah thats what i mean, i thought all power distribution blocks are fused? ive seen smaller ones for remote wire etc...non fused..but id fuse the amp with a 60amp fuse or 80amp if your squeezing it a lot and another 60 for the power inverter

Nope not all that's why i just thought u should add that. There are many different distro blocks that aren't fused. And of course all have there own purpose in the kind of installation your looking for.

Most non-fused distribution blocks are used for joining grounds into a common ground (since grounds don't need to be fused). Some people will use non-fused distro block and rely on the inline fuse at the battery to take care of the system until the current hits the amp fuses, but if you ask me that's a mistake (and a potential fire waiting to happen). I've always tried to fuse my power wires not only at the battery, but also at the distribution block. A fused distribution block may cost a little more, but it will end up saving you money in the long run. After all, a replacement fuse is a lot cheaper than a replacement amp or car if a fire gets too bad Even though this example is for a Mustang, the theory would be the same for any vehicle. It's a neat little trick for a clean inverter install... Installing a Power InverterSquirrel
