@sumaran72 Yes, you can use the preamp output on your 4 channel amp and daisy chain the RCAs to the monoblock.

@SonicElectronixTV Hey thank you for this great video i was wondering the fuse is in place to stop the battery from short circuiting i understand that but if i was to blow a fuse would it do any damage to the parts i have installed? Thanks

[SonicElectronixTV]

@Frogmanwildi911 No, once the fuse is blown then all the componets will be powered down. They will not be damaged.
