Another small set-back...?

I just realized I need to do something about my ground cable. My power cable is 0 guage, which will be adapted into a 4 guage via dist. block shortly before my amp, but what should I do about the ground cable. Do they make a simple 0 to 4 converter so I can actually attach it to the RSd1200.1 ? Thanks

you need 1....under the hood....then another within 18 inches of your amps You fuse according to the amperage that will be drawn....what is the total rated RMS power for the system? The in-line fuse attaches literally TO the battery terminal, so it is definitly within that range. I plan on putting ...

I bought a 0gauge PG kit, it comes with 250amp (two 125's)

Can I buy 100amp mini-ANL fuses locally, or am I going to be screwed and have to find some on the internet?

Would 120 be ok then?

And i dont know if I worded this correctly or not earlier, but this isn't an "in-line" fuse, it is in the distribution block. 0 gauge in, fuse, 4 gauge out...

120 better be ok, or i'm going to have a bad day :(

Ok, well, if I'm running a 0gauge wire up to the block, and a short piece of 4gauge up to my amp, I should use the 150amp route then? I'm not going to abuse it just yet...

Eventually I'll probably use the other route, I guess the 120amp, for my other amp which runs my components. Sound good?

Block fuses?

I bought a KnuKonceptz block and instead of sending me two 120amp mini-ANL fuses, I received a 120 and a 150.

I assume that this wont cause any problems and that one route will simply have a higher rated fuse than the other?

Ok, thanks. I'll just wire it for 2ohm and take it easy on the sub.

Sub is a Xenon 12d4 which I've had sitting around for a few years, and amp looking to get is RSd 1200.1

Amp wiring possibility?

If you had a mono amp that was rated at 1200@2ohm or 775@4ohm, and a sub that was only 500rms/900max with dual 4ohm voice coils, how would you wire that properly so that you are only sending 775watts to the sub? I don't want to risk throwing too much at the sub and blowing it... Also, how would this...

Yeah it looks pretty big. The RSDC likes at most 1.25cuft. However you can always take up extra airspace with styrofoam or wood blocks, etc. Better to have too big of a box than too small! Unless you have a very small trunk like me :cry: . Entrance through the fold down seat is only 11" tall, ...

Ok, alot to think about, but thanks for all the answers so far. Maybe I'll go with a Xenon600.1 because I saw one or two on ebay and it was much cheaper than a 1200.1. That should still be plenty for my 500/900 sub, yes? Then maybe in the future when I have more experience and learn more stuff I can...

RSd 1200.1 amp good?

I'm thinking about laying down the 300$ and buying a new RSd 1200.1 amp, what do you think? It will be powering a Xenon sub (12d4 500rms/900max), but may upgrade in the future to a matching RSd competition sub (12d2 600rms/1200max). Making a sealed 1.52 box currently.
