    Opus Wiring into Dist. Block

    I am almost done with my car pc setup but came across a snag that i couldnt find a direct answer for after searching a long time. I wiring the opus into a distribution block. I'm not that good when it comes to dealing with wire step downs...going from one gauge to another and placement of fuses. The image below shows the opus 120w 2-16 gauge wires connecting to a 10gauge wire with fuse in between the 10gauge wiring and into the distribution block. Or since its only going another few inches to the distribution block-should i just run the 2 16 gauge wires right into the 8gauge spot and put the fuse in. Its hard for me to find any 15gauge AGU fuses local. PLEASE HELP

    If 16awg wire will it in the connectors, then go for it.
    Personally, I think 16awg to provide power to the Opus 120w might be a little on the small side. I'd suggest at least12awg for a short run, 10awg for a longer run.

    Taken care of.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?
