8 gauge amp kit

ok if that is true, I have a Power Acoustik LT980/2, and it has four 25 amp fuses, which would be 100 amps correct?  If that is so then that would mean that the RMS would be rated at 1380 and the amp is max rated at 980!?!??  Am I missing something, lol I feel dumb now haha.

By adding up the fuse amperages and multiplying x 13.8 is only used to determine what an map could possibly produce, not what it exactly puts out. It just a rough way to bring some of the overated equipment down to earth for some customers. For instance I had a young cat come in wanting 2/0 gauge strung for his 2000 watt audiobahn amp. It sounded fishy so he brought the amp in prior to his appointment, it ony had 2- 30 amp fuses in the side, I know there is sometimes more fuses inside an amp but not on this one. This is my reasoning for using that equation.

Caps are cool looking some have leds that light up and voltage displays, but thats about it unless you have the charging system to use them. A higher amperage alternator and a good battery you should be ok.  And a good ground.. I would read through some of the "sticky topics" in this forum, they will help you on your install and future upgrades. Oh and I wasn't rippin' on audiopipe, audiobahn, p.a. or anything its just that is on the other half of the spectrum, I see many people trying to save a buck and end up gettin' burned in the long run. Hope it all works out for ya.
