Are you going to run any caps in your system? Have to bought a fase holder yet?

If you are using the Phoenix Gold Zeropoint fuse holder. I would recommend a 200 amp fuse. If you are using the Phoenix Gold XS or QX Series Fuse Holders. I would recommend replacing it with the Zeropoint Fuse holder or the 200 amp Phoenix Gold circuit Breaker. The reason why is, because the XS or QX type fuse holder only support up to an 80 amp fuse. If you had a cap or two I would recomend a smaller fuse. I ran a Alpine MRV-1507 and a JL Audio 300/4 on the stock alternator with two one farad caps with one 80 amp fuse and I was ok. Sense you don't have caps you will need a bigger fuse.

Hope that help!

You better check your JL 500/1 fuse rating again. I think the recommented fuse is 80Amp or lower, not 110Amp.

the JL 500/1 using 50 amp fuse and PGZXTi 600 is rated 60 amp fuse for 4 ohms stereo so both are 110 amps fuse.

Then a 100 amp fuse should be fine.

Both of your amp would have to be a peak power to blow a 100 amp fuse. Your bass amp could hit peak power very fast, but your full range amp is less likely to hit peak power unless you have your gain all the way up. You should be fine with a 100 amp fuse. If you start to blow fuses then I would recommand getting a cap to help with just problem.
