I will be installing 3 amps in my 07 Maxima within the next couple of weeks. I have on ARC KS300.4 that will run bridged to my front comps (Morel Dotech Ovation 6, 350w X 2 @ 4ohms bridged), I have another ARC KS300.4 that will run bridged to two Hertz EBX200R 8" subs (350w X 2 @ 4ohms bridged), Finally, I have an ARC KS125.2 Mini that I will be using to power the rear door speakers (ARC FD6025 2 X 70w @ 4ohms).
That being said, I will have a 1/0 run of Monster Cable (I know everybody's feeling about Monster products, but I got a great deal!) from the battery to the trunk (fused). Inside the trunk I will have a distro block to split the power into (2) 4gauge, and (1) 8 gauge to run to the amps. Now, my questions are:
What size fuse do I need to run at the battery on the 1/0 wire run?...and
What is the proper way to ground the amps? Should I ground each amp seperately at seperate spots? Or should I run a ground distro block and ground the distro block with 1/0 at one spot? I know that Pioneers are known for ground noise issues, and I want to avoid that. I've also read conflicting views on the proper grounding techniques....Lastly,
Do I need to run a relay for the remote turn on lead?
I will be powering everything off of a Pioneer DEH-P980BT. I will be using KnuKoncepz RCA's...I'm still undecided whether I will use the Krystal cables, or the Karma cables. I've used the Karma cables in 2 different installs and they worked perfectly.
Any help is appreciated.
