Thread: Power Wire question

  1. #1

    I'm wiring two JL Audio 300/4 amps and one JL Audio 1000/1 amp in my boat. I have read all the posts that I could find, but am not sure if I should:
    1. Run three seperate 4 gauge power wires off the common terminal of the Perko switch directly to the amps ((which is within 10 inches of were the amps are mounted)) or
    2. Run a seperate 0 gauge cable from the stereo batteries to a circut breaker, and then to a fused distribution block, ((Stereo batteries are approx. 4 feet from the amps)) Also if I run the 0 gauge cable from the stereo batteries, what size circut breaker should I use?
    Thanx for the help

    I have a 2000 W system (1x1000 class D and 1 250x4) w/ 2 12's and 10 tweeters and 4 6x9's running off my 2nd battery. What works well to avoid distortion is use the 0 gauge, and then to the distribution block.
    I am not sure of the circut breaker, let me get back to you with the BEST possible setup from one of my specialists at Tweeter.
