    Power to Amp

    What are some ways of running power from my front fuse box to an 250 W Amp that is going to powre my 6x9 250 Watt Sony Xplodes? Also I noticed that the spare fuses are still pulling power even when there are no keys in the ignition to even start up electrical. Do these stop pulling power once there is a fuse on them or do they still pull power from the battery?

    :idea: always run power directly from the battery directly to ur amp....
    put an inline fuse w/in 18 inches from the positive terminal to amp..
    ground ur amp to the chasis of the car as short cable as possible
    use atleast 8 gauge wie for both + - connections

    250 watts is too high to run on using the fusebox just my 2cents
