    System setup

    With out getting into like major break down of the products (brands or anything) this is what I am thinking. And here is the break down:

    From Car Battery
    1 x 0 Gauge wire to a distribution block (Fuse? What size?)
    3 x 4-6 Gauge wire to CPU, AMP, SUB AMP (30W Fuse on each?)

    From CPU
    - Power comes in from 4-6 Gauge wire to a OPUS 150 watt power supply (do you use a molex connector?)
    - Cords (VGA, and power to VGA) run to screen in dash… is this the best way to power my screen?
    - 2x RCA cables to AMP’S

    From AMP (how do I connect the on off wire that normal goes to the antenna?)
    - Speaker wire to 10 speakers

    From SUB AMP (how do I connect the on off wire that normal goes to the antenna?)
    - Wire runs to 1 – 2 Subs


    Other questions:
    Will this be to much for my car battery?
    Should I be running my power all the way back up to my VGA


    Well thanks for all the help! I am sure I will think of more questions soon. And sorry if I am a post whore.

    just browse the forums mate! all the answers are here!
    The power of your battery is enough!
    I use a couple of fuses.

    1 80A near my battery.
    My 2 amps have 30A each
    My pc (opus 200w) has 20A

    Cool thanks, how about the on/off cords from the AMP's ?

    Right size for the wire running to my CPU (is it to big?, and how do you connect it in?)

    does the system look about right?

    Is the M1-ATX 90 Watt going to be better for what I want to do?

    Thanks again!

    I'm sorry but what is an Opus 200w?

    As far as I have known, and their site tells me there has only been 3 models 90w (depracted), 120w and 150w....

    I dont see why an m1-atx 90 is going to be better than an opus150!
