WOW! That is a damn good looking install... my amp is just sitting under the pass seat with wires everywhere. I've been wanting to properly mount it and clean up the look and keep it from bouncing around, but I've been procrastinating for about a year now. I really like what you did, it inspires me!

yap. very good install.

but note: i think the fuse should be as close as possible to the battery.

Also makes it easier to check the fuse too if it blows so you dont have to remove the seat to replace it =)

[jeftwithatee]

tnx for that guys.. actually i have a fuse near the battery. that one besides the amp is like a sort of circuit breaker similar to what we are using at home. coz am afraid i might blew up the whole thing so i install that one. and if i want to add another amp or if i need to power something i've got one slot ready...

That's a great install jeftwithatee.
Thanks for posting the pics and welcome to the forums.

Hope you didn't do that install with a few dark & stormy's under your belt :biggrin:

good job on the fuses. My only concern is that you might want to go with a lower rated fuse. I couldn't tell if that was 4awg or 8awg you had going to the amp on that distroblock/breaker.

It looks like 8awg in & out. In which case a 30amp fuse/breaker would be much safer.

If you had 4 awg in, and then 4awg out... 60amp is fine

If you are using 8awg at all, in or out, that might be unsafe to have the fuse/breaker set at 60.

There are calculators to find out for sure if it is safe or not. Just google a site called Basic Car audio and Electronics. and search for the calculator, under the wire or fuses tab.

Everytime you reduce the size of the wire you should always re-fuse.

Nice looking install.

WOW!! Amazing installation! Good job!

[POORSHA]

It looks great. You might want to put some tape or a cap on The positive and negitive terminals just in case a coin or metal pen or object should fall on these and cause a short

[jeftwithatee]
