  3. 60 Amp fuse holders

    Just remember, your electrical system is only as good as it's weakest link. Make sure to do your Big 3 in 1/0, as well as connecting all batteries in 1/0. Like I said fuse everything, you'll need at least 3, 4 would be best so you can fuse your alternator as well. GL with the system.

    Thanks, can i use Circuit breakers instead? because i will have to buy replacement fuses from ebay if they pop and also the fuse holder.

    Do you understand the basics of how a fuse works? It's there to break the connection between two things (front and back battery, back battery and amp) in case an excessive amount of power is being pushed through the wire so that your wire won't catch on fire. Let's assume your T2.5k is *only* doing 2.5k @ 14.4 volts. This would mean your amp is putting OUT around 173 amps of power, and probably taking in at least 200 amps. That 60 amp fuse is blowing because your draw is exceeding the fuse rating. Assuming you're running 1/0 throughout, I would say get a 1/0 fuse holder and run a 250 amp fuse. On the run from front to back, you need 2 fuse holders. Each one will be placed within 18" of each battery. Also fuse from your back battery to your amp and match that as closely as possible to your amps fuse rating.

    That expains alot, cheers will go buy some 0/1 G cable, everything is in 4 guage except from the rear battery to the amp which is 0 G.

    Hey guys

    Have been having a few issues with my first set-up and like allways with first installs theres glitches. My first question, i have dual batteries, one in the engine bay and one to the boot, there is no solonoid between them. I have a standard alternator and am running a Rockford fosgate T2500-1bd and have had a a few subs, (now blown up) i have no sub running. So i used to have a fuse holder in the front (60A) and would pop fuses every 2 mins if that and was only running a Rockford T1, is there anohter alternative that i can use because fuse holders are rubbish. How many amps does a rockford amp pull and when do they fail? what should i have between the second battery and my amp?

    Cheers.

    not sure what part of Australia you are from but they are not slow and behind - we have several members from your country here and they have systems that HIT HARD.....

    you have more then Rockford fosgate there and even they have been there for years and years, not just last year LOL. You must live DEEP in the back country :D

    Yea we have lots of other brands but from my own experience i haven't seen one 18" woofer on sale, plenty of 15's around now but nothing compared to what you have over there. Thanks for that i will go check out those Aus members systems.

    Hey

    I want to get one of these to Australia and no one sells 18" in Aussie stores here because were a bit behind, i can get 15"s like rockford fosgate, kickers, all these other brands but no 18"s, but i want a fi btl, does anyone know how to get one over here?, none on ebay either.

    Thanks

    Yes i did know that, so are you trying to say is that i should get two T215D4 wired in a 1Ohm load format

    2_4ohmDVC_1ohm.gif

    and then tone my amp watts down to 1000Wrms @ 1ohm? i didn't see that set-up when i was working all this out.

    Edit: Does having different wiring setups to make different ohm loads change anything to do with the way the sub handles bass or it's frequencies? i know the difference between D2 and D4 is that D4 take more effort to run.

    Hey all

    I'm planning and saving for my first build in my car soon and am a bit confused with ohms and the amplifier output

    Ok, i will put this in the simplest way i can

    The amp:

    Rockford fosgate T1500-1bd

    500W x 1 @ 4-Ohms RMS

    1000W x 1 @ 2-Ohms RMS

    1500W x 1 @ 1-Ohm RMS

    The subs:

    2x Rockford fosgate T215D2 - 1000WRMS

    Impedance 2-Ohm x 2

    1000 Watts RMS

    2000 Watts Max

    This is what i want them set up as, (2) 2 Ohm DVC speakers = 2 Ohm load

    2_2ohmDVC_2ohm.gif

    Now what i'm confused with is that the amp sais 1000W x 1 @ 2-Ohms RMS, does that mean that both of the 15" will be receiving 1000Wrms each or split between each other (500Wrms)

    thanks
