Hi All!

 

I'm going to replace the fuse box with a spade terminal type, so I'm splitting accessories onto their own fuses.

 

I'm just looking at the stereo, and I'm going to make up some new leads to an ISO connector, but I'm not sure what size cable to use and what fuse to protect it with!

 

I haven't got the stereo yet (not made my mind up....) but the ones I'm looking at are 50W x 4 and state a maximum current of 10 Amps.

 

Any ideas?

I'd use 14 AWG (24 strand or less) with a 15 amp fuse.

Cheers hhhh!

 

what would you use for the permanent (memory) live?

Just about anything will do for the memory even down to 26 AWG since it's more of a voltage bias than any significant current. Use the smallest that you're confident won't easily break from flexing.

Great! Thanks for the advice!
