Ok, right now i'm shopping at knukonceptz.. and i belive its true that when you fuse your power line, the fuse should be the same size as your amp's fuse, which is 25A AGU. The KnuKoncept ampw iring kit comes with an 80a fuse, so im thinking about buying a fuse.. but the problem is that neither KnuKonceptz nor Streetwirez offer a 25a fuse, so would i be safe ordering a 30amp fuse instead?

I would just use the 80 amp fuse, there shouldn't be any problem. You wouldn't want to use a 25 amp fuse for your power cable if you are running 8 gauge or better.

Ok. well I just checked out of KnuKonceptz.com
shortly i'll be receiving:
1 KnuKonceptz 4 Guage wiring kit
1 Three output fued distrobution block
a few 30a AGU fuses
and a battery terminal
(think thats all i ordered). Will i need anything else?

on my last setup i ran a 150 amp fuse at the batt..that one is for making sure if there is a short in the line between your battery and firewall there is no explosion. of course that being said it still needs to be able to handle the demands placed on it by the amps...

well.. right now its no huge deal... the amp only requires a 25a fuse, and its not going to draw alot of power.. i think at 2 ohms this amp does 200W RMS, so yeah.

Oh yeah.. i forgot to ask, is it possible to wire the sub (single 4 ohm voice coil)as 2-ohm so it will get more power?

Nope. 4 ohm SVC is 4 ohm. Is that amp bridgeable? You might get more ouput at 4 ohm bridged.

i don't see anything on bridging

Guess my only real option for 2 ohms would be to get another amp and another sub, eh? (not that im complaining?)

Rated Power (mono):
120 W RMS x 1 @ 4 ohm (12.5V);
200 W RMS x 1 @ 2 ohm (12.5V)
cant bridge it its a mono amp...should maybe do a little better in your car if you have a good charging system....but another amp and sub doesnt get you 2 ohms it just gets you twice as many 4 ohm setups.......
