My setup/scematic

[Schmiess]

This is pretty much how I'm going to build the whole deal, to the best of my knowledge. My main questions are this:

1. Do the gauges of wire look ok?

2. What fuses will I need? For the Inline fuse I'm planning on that 100A (Cam2 recommended, so i'm thinkin' that's right on). And for the distribution box I'm thinking 2 60A fuses (The D5300.4 I know has 2 30 fuses in it, I dunno about the D5300.2), so I think that's how the fuses work.

3. Let me know if you see anything not right or messed up, anything would be helpful.

Thanks so much guys, you've been sooo much help, I appreciate it. Pics of install will come soon.

I don't know about fuses or anything like that, but 10 AWG is pretty large for what you've got there. Generally 16 AWG is used for speakers, 12 for subs, and like 20 or so for remote lead.

It's a bit pointless to run 0 ga to the fuse and then 4 ga to the distribution block. You can use the same wire gauge. You should be ok running 4 ga all the way from the battery to the fuse, to the distribution block. From the distr block to the amps, 8 ga will suffice. Ground wires should be the same ga wire as the input wire, so you are good there.

Remote turn on wire can be as small as 18 or 22 ga and it will still work. 10 ga for the remote is overkill. But if you have left over 10 ga and don't want to buy 18 or 22 ga wire, it will still work.

For speaker wire from the amps to the components, 12 or 16 ga will suffice and 12 ga will work for the subs.

What he ^ said. You don't need 0 gauge. 4 gauge is all you need to the distribution block.

rad. Thank you so much guys. and I think I got the fuse thing figured out... I sure hope I do. If it's just simple addition I got it. Time to buy the wiring and I'm good to go...woowoo

Just out've curiousity, how much did you (or would you) pay for that 6.5" component set?

[techrat]

you forgot to ground your AA lol j/k

[Schmiess]

For the comp set, I got it on B-stock, $200 shipped with 2-year warranty. It's $250 retail though (I believe).

Where in California are you? I emailed Exile a while back, and they told me that they are not selling in SoCal yet.

[Schmiess]

Central Cali, Monterey area. The don't have dealers in the area yet. So I just contacted them and they're shipping them directly to me.
