hey can someone take a look at these specs. They have something listed that the amp has an 80 amp fuse and can't be wired with 4 guage? How would you wire this?

I don't know what they are talking about. 4 gage is fine for that amp/ Maybe they are saying the input terminals cannot handle 4 gage wire. I cannot recomend Bazooka amps (high failure rate) but that price looks pretty good.

I don't see why that amp would need 4g wire. Unless you're going a long way with it, it just won't pull that much current. At best it's a 300w amp really - hey, you get what you pay for.

On the other hand, if you plan to upgrade, it's probably worth it to go ahead with the 4g now rather than replacing it later.
