Hooking up an amp

#16657

Post by BobOstro61 »

I don't know exactly what I need to hook up my Dave Made M-80 in the mobile when its delivered. What I have purchased for it so far is:

8 gauge copper stranded wire (red and black)
6 foot RG58 jumper.

Is there anything else I will need?

That would help too! What about fuses on the 8awg wire, or anything else? Don't want to damage my truck or my radio!

Some people don't fuse them, I do at the battery end and at the amp, I have a big amp in a truck for 15 years, not fused at the battery, when it shorted out it melted the wire all throughout the dash,,your new amp probably be fused already, but I always fuse at the battery, most people don't keep trucks as long as I do,,,LOL,
