Not all amps have onboard fuses, however, for his application they do.

Thanks for the input!! I follow you 100%. I have an 8 gauge kit already. The sub was installed in another car. I was just wondering what I would need for the new MBQ amp and also what I would need to add them together. Now I'm off to order parts.

Thanks again for your help guys!

BTW, how did you come up with 50 amps max for the MBQ amp? Did I miss it in the specs somewhere?

Jesus!

Ok, disregard all that I said about the mbq h:

You are going to need 4 gauge wire to go to that amp, and a fuse anywhere from 125 to 90 amps. Also, you might run into some trouble with a 100 amp fuse on the main wire. You might be alright since I doubt you will be pushing both amps to their limits, but if you start blowing that fuse alot, you are going to need to up the amperage.
