ok well ive been doing alot of research over the past couple weeks and just got done building/ wiring my accessory fuse box
i put it in the rear cargo area in the odd shaped compartment in the right rear ( all XJ owners know what im talking about) anyway, i have a sound system and everything so heres what i got
i had 1 4 Gauge wire running to the rear to a distribution block for all of my amps sub and capacitor. today i ran another 4 gauge wire to the distribution block
so i currently have (2) 4 gauge wires going to 1 distribution block ... my question is that i know i need inline fuses at the battery and of coarse everywhere where i put a smaller gauge wire coming off the distribution block. but what im confused about is. that in the 2 fuse holders at the battery for the (2) 4 gauge wires what size fuse should i have ? before i added anything i just had an 80 amp fuse and has been fine for about a year. is it ok to just put another 80 amp fuse in the other wire so that both the 4 gauge wires will have an 80 amp fuse ???
thankyou. also in the rear i ran an 8 gauge wire from the distribution block to the accessory fuse box. i put a fuse holder about 8 inches from the dist. block
to find out what size fuse to put there i should add up all the amperages of the fuse box correct ??? i.e. lights/power outlets ???
right now i only have a power outlet ( 25 amps ) in the acc fuse box so what size fuse should i put in the 8 gauge wire ??
sorry if my post if confusing... its hard to word all this wiithout sounding dumbb
thankyou in advance
