I am rewiring my car for my new PG amps, and I want to know what am fuse or what circuit breaker should I use? I will be running a 0/1 awg power wire to a distribution block (perhaps a fused dist block) where the wire will split into two 4 awg power wires. The two amps are Ti 600.2 and a Ti 500.4.

I was also going to seperately fuse each of the two 4 awg wires as well, and I will use the fuses recomended by PG in the owners manual.

So, in addition to the two seperate 4 awg fuses, what should the main 0/1 awg fuse be?

PS - what is a good inexpensive source for power wire?

Look at knukonceptz for everything you inquired about. The fuse rating for a 0/1 gauge wire is stratospheric, so you can just fuse it at the combined amp fuse ratings.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

calculate the max current for each amp and sum them up. Then select the next higher fuse rating compared to the combined current.

there is a solution to every problem

go with the circuit breaker, no more money dished out for fuses

electronics run off of smoke, when you let the smoke out they stop working

do you really want to run your pricey equipment off of cheap wiring?
