Putting together all my supplies for upgrading the stereo in my new to me used Chaparral Sunesta 234. Boat is 23' total. I've got 4- 6.5" kicker = 190 watt max; 65RMS @ 4 ohm, 1 - 10" kicker subwoofer = 300 watt; 150 RMS @ 4ohm, Kenwood 5 channel class D 600 watt amplifier = 50 watt x 4 at 4ohm and 300 watt x 1 @ 4 ohm. Kenwood head unit with bluetooth will be located in existing head unit location (in head compartment) and will have remotes at bow, stern and helm.
Speakers and sub have led grill with controller.
Just want confirm I got the wire size and fuse correct.... I plan on using 4 AWG power and ground directly to the battery from the amp (will be placed near the head unit which is located in the head compartment). 80 amp ANL type fuse - Amp draws total of 58 amps based on literature.... Ok to go with 80 or should I find something closer to 60?
I've seen 16 gauge speaker wire that comes with LED power wires in the same jacket and was thinking of using that. Good idea or better to just use separate wire?
Is 16 gauge ok to use for the speakers? All no more than 10' from the amp.
Thanks in advance!
