PatrickWahl Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 im about to be running an American Bass VFL 100.1 (1500+rms) in a celica with a stock alternator. I think the alternator is around 80amps. I'll also be doing the "big 3" up front and adding a kinetik in the back. Shortly i'll be starting to run 0gauge, but I dont know what size fusing to use on big3 or the run to the rear. any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeje Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 so your gonna put 3 batteries in there right?

bassrace Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) 8O amp inbetween alt and batt(within 12" from batt). Now from batt to amp wire a 250 should be fine 12" from batt. And check the specs in the amp manual but I'd say a 150? before the amp.? And a 250 before the second batt. Edit: I think I was wrong my 90amp alt takes a 100amp fuse soo if your alt is 80amps I think a 9O amp fuse would be best.

zayres29 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 it you are using OFC wire you should use 300a fuses and then fuse the amp for what the manual says the fuse rating is Quote Btw that was the first person.

bassrace Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 If you cant find specs on your alt go to autozone and ask what the stock alt is they have it in their system, so you know what to fuse the big 3 with.

deeje Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 And tons of people from where? Im just saying from personal experience and everyone i've known it works much better with 2 matching batteries. Better safe then sorry especially on 80 amps but that's just me.
