TIDD10 questition

My second TIDD10 arrived today and i have some questition about them now.What kind of fuse size is recommended for the battery outputs?

Equal to the combined fusing of the outputs. 10 10 amp fuses = 100amp fuse.

So this means i got to fuse the feeding power line for the DD10 with a 100 amps fuse. But why does this thing have 2 internal 30 amp fuses as seen on the second pic? I thought of 10 fuses 1 amp for remote and 10 fuses 3 amps for batterie outputs.

joerg think you are right 100%
I had a dd5 same thing...
there is no way you need a 100 amp fuse for this item look at the power a ti600.2 need vs what this does

And one more fact that confuses me is the thing with the 4 gauge wire inputs it has. 4 gauge means 60 amps. Am i right? Not used to the american wire thing

i have a 40 amp fuse on mine; i use a bass cube(3amp), mx3i xternal xover(3 amp), a rddp kit(3amp); alot of the external pg processors, etc. have a 3 amp internal fuse, now dont quote me exactly on that, but all pg products do list what the internal fuse is, inside their boards, under the products chasis-just goto car audio , and look 'em up, download them; know that im thinking of it 40 amp is probably too much for mine-probably could use a 10 amp, i guess it just depends on how many extra components ur using and their internal fuse rating???! just my 2 cents, hope this helps( i also think one of my items has a 2amp fuse, would have to doublecheck it-ive had it this way since August, and had NO ISSUES-

thedeal7235 know his stuff I think I agree with that he said just because it can hold a big wire doesn't mean you need to give it a big wire....
you would be fine with a 30-60 amp fuse just depends on what you install

yeah i just double checked, and my mx3i, for example, is internal fuse 2 amp-

cant seem to find the exact number on the bass cube, but seriously doubt internally its more than2-3amp-although im a bad reader, the ax406 external crossover is 1amp, for example, just look under ur componets specs. they usually do list

thanx for the props kg, but i dont know everything, trial/error, lots of questions here, old pg dealers, and friends, sometimes i still have to stop, look up, even for wiring of subs b4 I ASSUME i know it-

I think we al do that from time to time
thats why we are all here!!!!

i mean i hate to hook up farad caps, i hate the possible spark!!!( im a wuss like that, but i admit it, or ask jacampb2, from working on amps, im like, can this shock me or something, or even cojones, i asked him b4 i hooked up my 120vac to dc ps-ill ask, i dont care how stupid i seem to others-even when i think i know for sure, or cant find it on google; my faav. google stipud shared was the sqrt(), to figure out for DMM tuning- I DISLIKE MATH!!! but, ur right thats why we are all here
