Well guys, I did a little mod in my rcsb that removes the bigass box thing behind the bench (the thing that holds the tire-change Jack and whatnot), so I'm gonna get an amp and a Sony 10" this week. Just have to build a small box. My question is, what is the best and easiest way to run power to the amp? My buddy used to have two 10"s in his trunk but the amp was drawing straight from the battery, no fuse, just a thick-ass wire. The car REALLY had a hard time starting after awhile of him having this setup, so I don't wanna kill my new battery.

You always need to run a fuse.

Yup, always run a fuse. Get an inline fuse kit and run it up near the battery.

 

[jdyates]

But if i do that, that will mean it will constantly draw power from the battery, even when the truck is off? Sorry, electrical n00b.

no it wont draw power when off the remote wire to the amp is what turns the power on to amp when the key is on

[jdyates]

Oh okay, i see. So in other words, wire with a fuse from the battery to the amp. What size wire should i use and what kind of fuse?

 

[badazzbulldog]

buy an amp wiring kit they sell them at wal mart it has everything you need
