AMI CUSTOMS Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 What do you do? Do you run an external fuse for big +4k size amps, or just wire direct to a batt bank? Looking for opinions from people with experience with running fuses and not running fuses. Thanks!!!

getlocivic Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 i use circuit breakers.. those big anl type fuses tend to just melt all over the place rather than popping and killing power.. always better to be safe than sorry Quote
Nathan @ XSpower Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 In a daily driver it is stupid not to fuse or do something! Quote
C-Fizzy Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 Using a fuse is worth more to me than losing .001 db. And circuit breakers lose strength after popping each time.

G-Rad Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 Circuit Breaker? That actually answers my question, but do you just get a breaker rated for whatever amperage needed? or are there special os for said application?

AMI CUSTOMS Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Posted December 28, 2011 Would you still use fuses if your batt bank to amp is just a few inches?

JPagan Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 If your power wire from batts to amp are only a few inches then I wouldn't fuse them. Quote
