jimdog32526 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I have a question about Fuses. I will be running a Sundown 2000D and a 1600w Hifonics. I have a 120 amp ANL fuse on 1/0 at the rear block for the hifonics, it has internal fuses but I wanted another one anyway. I have a 150 amp ANL Fuse on 1/0 at the Sundown amp at the rear Block I have 2 1/0 Cables running from the dual Batteries under the hood to the distribution block. What size Fuse should each Main Feeder cable get near the battery? 300A or 150A. Im not sure if the amp load is split between the 2 cables or if each cable see's full load?

Not ur amp or battery or alternator or any of that. The fuse u add to ur power wire is there to protect ur wire from overheating/melting/burning ur car down. So as the first page here says, 1/0 can carry 350amps, so because if that limit and to be safe, the maximum fuse u should use is 325A. But 300A fuses on 1/0 is common also. Then again, fusing smaller like u did at 120-150A on 1/0 isnt adding danger or anything, kind of just limiting urself for no reason. With a 120A fuse, u couldve just used 4awg instead of 1/0 lol saved some money. By putting that small fuse on 1/0 ur not utilizing the full potential of the 1/0 wire. Youre cutting its potential by half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
