[QUOTE=Maheriano;891256]2. The guy I bought the MTX amp from said it was 120 watts, but this says it's 45W x 4 @ 4 ohms meaning it's 180 watts total RMS.
Again, what are you gonna do, overestimate, or underestimate.
[QUOTE=Maheriano;891256]3. The max amps for 8 gauge is 52, so when I split that in half for the 2 inputs, I get a 25 amp fuse for each wire to go into the distribution block. When I was just out to a few places asking them for 25 amp fuses for this, they looked at me funny asking if I was running a real small amp. He wanted to give me a larger fuse, and another guy wanted to give me 180 amp fuses.
There is no such thing as the max amps for wire, it is based on the length of the wire. WHy are you splitting it in half. Why are you getting 25 amp fuses? Think logically, please. Stop listening to people at the f-ing Canadien tires. They are the dumbest people on earth. Get the information you need, and get what you are told.
[QUOTE=Maheriano;891256]4. On my journey for fuses, I was looking for a 5A 25 amp fuse, and it seemed easy because they all had 5A or 3A or 2.5A or something like that on them. And the packaging for the distribution block says it takes 2 5A fuses. But when I looked at them all on the rack, it seemed like the number before the A was in reference to amps, and why would anyone put a 5 amp fuse in a piece of hardware that'll be running amps?
5A is a type of fuse, 5amp is measure of the fuses capacity. This really should not be too hard to understand.
[QUOTE=Maheriano;891256]5. Ignoring the packaging, I decided to get a 50A fuse which would be 50 amps to go near the battery on the single line. But the highest they had was 35A, and I already have a 30A in there. Why wouldn't an automotive place carry anything larger than 35 amps? It was Canadian Tire.
Because they don't carry it. Ask them why. Do an internet search, and you will find plenty. How the hell should anyone here know why they don't carry a 50 amp fuse.
