lombo352 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 personally i would not run the wire through the fuse box.... use your own fuse block. 300 amp fuse on each end of the + from battery to battery. x2 i edited my post to say that. when he said he had a 150 amp fuse i didn't know he meant the stock fuse, i thought he added a fuse block in that spot. then i realized he meant the factory fusing. So ya, i'd use ur own fuse block.. I will definatley up grade when i get that far along ..thanks for the info Quote 96 Ram Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph3n1 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 No you are fine with the fuse, It just depends on how much power you are going to be drawing with your amps. Like me personally, I left the factory connection in place.. completely untouched. and added an ADDITIONAL alt charge wire with my own in-line anl fuse. If you are confident in the conductivity/gauge of the stock fusing, then you're fine. but I personally added my own as opposed to replacing stock. In fact i did that with all of the big 3. I added additional runs without touching the stock ones. So did u decide which way to wire your battery? it dosent matter how much his amp is drawing the alternator wont put out more than 115-120 amps if its stock, and ive ran many amps that draw "150" amps on 60 amp fuses (yes for meca) but i beat on them for about 2 hours and they never blew, they got discolored and purple but didnt die Quote 2005 Ford Ranger Reg cab Build in Progress T3 Audio T2000 12 ARC SE4000 Stinger HPM 1/0 Wire DC power 270xp Batts: 1 Redtop up front and a Stinger SPP2250 in the back Hopes to be in and around a 150....weel see my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/steph3n1 Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in my car, there is about 3 inches of 8 guage running from the inside of the fuse box out to the bolt where the wire was attatched. So if i had run a 0AWG to that, it would be reduced to 8 before it made it to the fuse anyway.
