Xenon 1200.1

[trckydve]

I just got a Brand New Xenon 1200.1 and I don't have any experience with mono amps. It has a recommended fuse rating of 100 amps and has dual 4 awg. Power, Ground and remote connections. Do I need to run two wires back to the amp with one running through my cap, both fused at 100a? Or just run 1 wire back and split it through a dist. block? Thanks

You can split the fuse to 50 amps each to each positive terminal so that it totals 100.

Run one 0/1 gauge wire from battery and split via distribution block with 50 amp fuses per line to each terminal using 4 gauge wire.

Thanks AVICJR!
That's what I was planning but I wasn't sure if I needed 50 or 100 to each one. I'm glad because I already have 1/0 running back so I won't have to rewire the whole thing. One more question though. The speaker terminals have an A and B terminals. My subs are 2 Ohm DVC's rated at 600 rms apiece. Should I use only one terminal and wire them in Series/Parallel or use both terminals and run one to each sub (if this is even how they work??) since the load doesn't matter on the Xenon amps.

The terminals are wired in parallel internally on the monoblock amp. Wire the voice coils in series on each sub,wire the subs individually to each terminal on the amp and you should get a two ohm final load. I think....

Oh yeah, and welcome to the Phorum.

Here's a little guide for you to go by. Try and wire it so that the amp sees no smaller than a 2 ohm load like FT1 said above.

I SEE! said the blind man.

Thanks for your help guys. I tried wiring both ways (using one terminal and then both) and it seems to sound a little cleaner using both with one sub per terminal. Anyway, thanks for the help and thanks for the welcome.
