Wire/Fuse Guide

[kingcabon20s]

you dont think im gonna pop the fuse an what size fuse do i need to fuse my front batt to my back batt

[z71kris]

so by this guide, I am running about 1000 wts at 1 ohm, I would need to be running 10 gauge speaker wire?

[PUNKYOU007]

So if i do one run of 1/0 from each alt and one from the front battery (giving me a total of three runs from the front) i need to:

1) Go from each alt to a 325A fuse

2) Go from the front battery to a 325A fuse

3) From each 325A fuse to the rear batteries

4) From the rear batteries into a 380A fuse

5) From each 380A fuse to each amp

In my case i will either be running AQ3500D.1 or Cadence ZRS-C5 for the subs.

The AudioQue site recommends a 380A inline fuse. The 3500 also accepts two 1/0 positives. Should i run a 380A fuse for each positive connection on each amp?

For Example: I am running two AQ 3500D.1's that would give a total of four 1/0 positive terminals, two on each amplifier. I would have to run four 380A fuses between the rear batteries and the amplifiers.

OR

For Example: I am running two AQ 3500D.1's that would give a total of four 1/0 positive terminals, two on each amplifier. I would have to run four 190A fuses between the rear batteries and the amplifers

Help here would be well appreciated.

if a stetsom 5k2 draws 520 amps what size fuse would it need?

[Tek]

The amp I wanna buy has two 70A fuses and the max wire size is 4ga. Do I need a 70a fuse, a 125a fuse, or a 140a fuse with the 4ga at the battery?

I am going to be running from the distribution block 4 gauge to my Autotek sm4-1000 for highs/mids, and 0 guage for my sax-1200d(is 1/0 the same thing?), so that means to run 2/0 from the battery to the distribution block, and for big 3 right? Also what would be the proper fusing? Thanks in advance!
