www.knukonceptz.com has 4ga kits for about $30.
if you run that 1200.1 at 1 or 2 ohms, get a 115A fuse for it (or within 5A either way of that)
If the amp is going to be run at 4 ohms, get a 60A fuse.
that will match to the current draw of the amplifier based on load.

what I don't get is they only put a 80a fuse in with that 4ga kit. and the higher amp fuses are all anl which I don't think works with the fuse holder you get does it? I was thinking of getting that kit at one point myself, but I can get a 4ga kit with the right size fuse and holder for about the same price as replacing those things in the kit and the shipping. |

the JBL has 4 RCA inputs
front and rear L+R
the amp works best if all 4 inputs get signal.
to do this, use two cheap short RCA Y-splitters.
easy trick. you'll notice the difference.
total cost is about $6.

Any good websites with rca Y splitters, And When you say noticably you mean it will hit harder or just a clearer sound |
