Would it be ok to use 22ga speaker wire to extend the power and ground to my fuse box?

Yes that should be big enough. But it would be smarter to wire it to your stereo power wire and remote because there is less chance for short circuits

I don't see any way that wouldn't be possible, the wires that run from the speakers to the system itself are bare, and just kind-of clip in, so I don't see that being a problem if you need to extend them.

You could attach #6 wire to the lugs of this fuse holder. Best to apply an appropriately sized and tinned ring terminal on the ends of the wire to ensure "gas tight" connections. Your protection/safety levels would be determined by the size of fuze you install in the holder.

The supplied fuse is a 20 amp (max 250v) which is alot for the 18AWG wire used in this assembly (a fuse of approx. 1/2 that is more appropiate to protect the 18 guage wire used.

It's recommended for 4 AWG & 8 AWG. 6 AWG is right in the middle so it shouldn't be an issue. One side should connect to the battery and the other side should connect to the power on the amp. All you have to do is unscrew the end caps, put your wires in and tighten down the allen bolts on both sides. THIS DOES NOT COME WITH A FUSE. So you'll need to buy an AGU fuse to complete the connection 40, 60, 80, or 100 depending on your amp. The fuse is placed in the center of the holder. Hope this helps.

i don't you could use it with your set up, you would probably need a higher amperage version to suit.

Its also been a long while since i installed this but i did just replace my battery terminals and the power wire was all copper. I didnt use the ground because i had an old 0ga ground from awhile back. I also would not recommend trying to put 2k watts through this. Maybe 1k max.... MAYBE

Yes, you can hard wire to your fuse box. However, your are risking of drain out the battery. You could try with a high capacity portable battery, something like Poweradd Pilot Pro 32000mAh.

Since you are needing only a short distance of wiring, I would recommend getting it from Lowes or Home Depot where you can buy it by the foot, just use anything that is 22awg with at least 2 wires (you only need 2 but if there are 4 its no big deal don't use the extra wires)

Are you blowing the fuse when its going dark? If you are you should hard wire a 18gauge or to be safe 16gauge wire with a 15 amp in line fuse directly to the stereos/amps power wire. Make sure that fuse is as close to the battery as you can get it to avoid any shorting along the lines of that hard wire.

Yes you can if you cannot find the 150 fuse yiu just need replace the holder.. Only do this if the amps need it, if your fuse is too strong it won't blow on a short and you may damage the amps even your car fuse box.Also I have 1200 class D fosgate amp, 2000 watt Lazar for highs, 250 watt for tweeters. All three running off this wiring kit never had any issue or blew fuse

It would probably work fine with the existing crimp connector. To be sure, I might strip off a longer length of the 20ga, double it over and solder to make it fatter. However, be sure to not use a fuse higher rated than the capacity of your wire.

The speaker grounds are common once you get inside the amp....the only reason there are two "ground" terminals on the back is to keep some fool from wondering what to do with the extra wire....

I have this speaker-amp combination. If the banana plugs fit, your speaker wire choice looks great.

Yes, the amperage of the fuse will have to be determined by the owners manual on the amp. I can't remember the exact spec on the amp size on the fuse. But yes the power terminal on the amp will support a 4 gauge wire, no problem.

NO! You cannot power an amp of this power with tiny wires! If you use those 18 gauge wires, fuses will blow, and wires will melt. Run a new larger wire.

8awg power wire w/ in line 50 amp fuse from batt, 8awg ground wire at amp. All you need to do is splice your factory speaker wire from the hu to the included speaker level harness that snaps into the amp, then run wire to your speakers. I just snipped the speaker wire behind the hu, and ran two sets of wires. One ran from hu to harness at amp, other set ran back to the factory speaker wires and spliced in so I did not have to run wires to each speaker
