BobbyG2 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Find out how many amps your alternator is, and use a fuse just bigger than that, but not higher than your wires rating (good 1/0 is good for up to 300 amps) *New vehicle and system coming soon.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprkn_ranger Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 How would i know what amp fuse to get? Find out what your wire is rated at and fuse to that and you'll be fine.

dfoland93 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I love you!!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!! The spot with least resistance LOL. I would ground to a rubber dildo if it had less resistance than a run of 4/0 wiring. how many poeple work there 3 or 4 lol At crescendo HQ? probably 2-3 At the sweatshop in china? 30,000 children No Engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkrockprs Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 will this wire work for the big 3? its my old power cable i had laying around. the white cable on my batt terminal is the wire going to my alt. also will putting the wire on the nut on the side of the battery terminal for the + be fine due to i have no more inputs free? let me know if so ima do this within the next few days. again the little white wire is going to my alt. im not taking it out and replacing it ima just add this wire from the alt to the battery C-Fizzy, on 01 April 2012 - 01:06 PM, said: Clip city bitch, clip clip city bitch. 10's, 12's, 15's, goin up in flames bitch.

beatinpearls Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I always replace ALL the battery power and ground cables with larger ones. Batt power to fuse box, starter, alternator and any other factory wiring, and new grounds to block, frame and body. Which is more than just the big 3. I saw someone comment about leaving the factory wiring in place when doing the big 3. Is this because the big 3 doesnt take in to account all the other power wires needed?

punkrockprs Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 i read that too and it said with some cars replacing the wires compared to adding can cause problems with the ecu C-Fizzy, on 01 April 2012 - 01:06 PM, said: Clip city bitch, clip clip city bitch. 10's, 12's, 15's, goin up in flames bitch.

n8ball2013 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 no its because current takes the path of least resistance.

beatinpearls Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 no its because current takes the path of least resistance. Agreed. So how is new, larger wire with good or better connections an issue? Or would this negate the need to leave stock wiring in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubNDodge Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I currently have a bit of light dimming on a RF Prime R500.1 with one type R 12" Was going to do the big 3 upgrade alone with running 0/1 AWG back to the amplifier. I will need two inlines fuses correct? 1 for Alt+ -> Bat+ and Bat+ -> amplifier. What size fuse would I need for each one if they are both needed? Also since my amplifier will only accept 4 gauge should I use 2 0/1 -> 4 gauge adapter pins (power and ground for amplifier) or use a distrobution block with 4 AWG grounding the amplifier? I just wanted to pick the minds/get opinions of some car audio pros.
