System= 2 Sony Xplod subs 300w RMS/800w Max...sealed box....Sony Mono amp 400W RMS/800W Max..1 Farad RF cap....4 gauge power and ground throughout...Sony Head unit. (Not the big baller setup, but it does the Jorb for now!)
I have a 60A fuse on my 4 guage wire running to the trunk (which is fused within <12" off the battery) ...that connects to a the cap...from there i have a 1.5 ft 4ga power cable run from the cap to the amp that is not fused. Is this going to be a big problem?? Everyone usually says that the main power line coming from the battery should have a fuse within 18" of the battery...meaning that having 18" of unfused wiring is acceptable. So using this school of thought, I decided that the power run from the cap to the amp didn't need a fuse. Now I am having second thoughts. Anyone have any input.
