Supercharged DCs Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 175 Ive always thought You want to fuse 250-300A with good 0gauge. Isn't 175A a bit small for 0gauge Knu? Educate me please Quote Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012.

08tahoe Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 What fuse size would i need to externally fuse 2k from the trunk battery. are you talking about fusing to your rear battery or from rear battery to amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Educate me please The amp is only rated for a 200amp fuse, why fuse the wire larger when it is not needed? You will not gain extra voltage from using a bigger fuse. Fusing the short run of wire from the rear battery to the amp higher then manufactures spec will not help save the amp in case an issue will arrive. A 175-200 amp fuse will take much more then its rated current. There are 2 ways to do fusing. Neither of which are really wrong, but 1 is better then the other. 1- using fuse's according to the wire, ie 17foot of 1/0gauge wire = 300 amp fuse. 2- fusing your wire to the current you actually use, which means you normally need a clamp meter to determine how much current is being traveled along the wire. If you have 1 run of 1/0 wire (knukoncepts fleks for this example) a 200 amp highoutput alt, a XS Power d3400 under the hood, and lets say 3 XS Power d3100s in the rear. You really only need to fuse that wire at 200-250 amps that runs front to back, because most of your current will be used from your rear batteries while the alt will just keep those rear batteries charged.
