Craig28 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 How do you guys do it? This is going to be my first big power (well, big for me) build and I need help learning to fuse for bigger power. The amp I will be using is a Stetsom 7K D and I'm buying dual inputs for it from Woofer Warehouse, so 2 runs of 1/0 each for positive and negative. Would I be able to get distro blocks that have 2 1/0 inputs and outputs and use two 240 amp fuses per block? Or do I need to fuse each run separately and try to find 480 amp fuses? Any input/tips are immensely appreciated. Quote TEAM DC Everything is a 150 on th earometer Well I guess punching a woman is a good way to test your strength!

OrionStang Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 When I was running the 7k2e, I had one run of 3/0 welding cable and a 500 amp fuse. http://www.donrowe.com/accessories/fuse_anl.html Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
skittlesRgood Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 fuse each wire alone. dont combine fuses and wire. i have always just done an in-line fuse on each wire.

Craig28 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Posted March 6, 2012 fuse each wire alone. dont combine fuses and wire. i have always just done an in-line fuse on each wire. So should I just run the 480/500 amp fuses on each block? Quote TEAM DC Everything is a 150 on th earometer Well I guess punching a woman is a good way to test your strength!

OrionStang Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) 400 on each one. EDIT: Depends how long the cable is. Probably just do a 300 on each. Edited March 6, 2012 by OrionStang Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread

So should I just run the 480/500 amp fuses on each block? that sounds like the opposite of what i said. you want to run a 500amp fuse to one 1/0 wire?

Craig28 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Posted March 6, 2012 400 on each one. EDIT: Depends how long the cable is. Probably just do a 300 on each. Thanks for the help buddy. Runs shouldn't be too long, the longest would be from the front to 1st battery in the trunk.

Im going to fuse each run separately like you and OrionStang suggested, I just needed help figuring out what size fuses to use, Quote TEAM DC Everything is a 150 on th earometer Well I guess punching a woman is a good way to test your strength!
