    Distribution block fuse blowing

    I'm running a distribtuion block since I have 2 amps for my sub and the door speakers. The sub is a T110D2 and with it I have an older rockford fosgate amp which runs at 500 watts at 4 ohms and 1000 watts 2 ohms. The way it the sub was wired up seemed to have been at 1 ohm but I rewired it to a 4 ohm load because the fuse on the block kept blowing before I did that today. My main question is if this was caused because I may have been drawing too much power or what other cause it could be before I blow something up

    What size of power wire are you using? 8 gauge, 4 gauge, 2 gauge or 0 gauge?

      Your amp was drawing more current than the fuse was rated for.

        The power wire is a 4 gauge I believe.

        I was looking to get a bigger fuse but wasn't sure if that was a good idea... Plus I couldn't find a bigger fuse than a 5v60a at the time

          So is it safe to run it at the original ohm load and with a bigger sized fuse?

            Are you going to run the sub at 1 ohm?

              I wouldn't recommend it. Would you rather blow a 2 dollar fuse or your amp?

                It would be nice to run it at 1 ohm because at 4 ohms it sounded like I was just getting bass from the door speakers and I didn't get the T1 again to hear that Or is there a way to wire it up to lets say a 2 ohm load and run it like that? I did the wiring from rockfords wiring wizard and they only show how to do a 1 ohm and 4 ohm load

                  Don't run the sub at one ohm unless that amp is 1 ohm stable. If it is, you up your fuse amperage in the distribution block only.
