mrdavebasshead75 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I have a Planet Audio BB150.4 and wanted to use 1/0wire with 2 reducers (1/0-4Ga) instead of just 4ga wire. When fusing, what size fuse to use since I already have (2) 30 amp fuses on the amp? Would a large ANL fuse work in this situation?

Robert8252 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 There is absolutely not one need in any possible way at all even a little bit to use 0g on that amp. If, and ONLY if you still feel a need to run 1/0 to it. You still put a 60 amp anl fuse 6" from the battery and if you don't trust the fuses on the amp 6" from the amp as well.

Reason I asked is that ive seen alot of builds with 1/0 with their 4ch amps and I have alot of 1/0 and didn't want to buy extra wire to run 4ga if I didnt need to. Why should I not run it? Would it cause problems for me to run 1/0 instead of 4Ga?

Robert8252 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 No problems. Just is beyond overkill. Just fuse correctly and it will be fine. Some 1/0 - 4g reducers are pretty big though. I have some stinger reducers laying around that make 1/0 wire look small.

I have some stinger reducers laying around that make 1/0 wire look small. I understand, but I just want to have that window open for upgrading in the future. Also, I didnt know they made ANL fuses that small! Lol. Im still learning as u see!!

SnowDrifter Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 No, it will not cause you any issues. Overkill, yes, but it won't cause any harm.

Why would you put a fuse on the power wire 6 inches from the amp if the amp has on board fusing? It is completely pointless.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 To the OP, it is a waste of 1/0 wire to do that to this type of amp unless the amp was over 25 ft away from the battery it was connected to.

AMI, I understand your point but wouldnt it be a waste to put the 4ga in and then have to take it back out later on to put 1/0 in? As I stated, I do plan to upgrade later on and if it doesnt cause any issues mechanically as stated from the other posters then this would be a better option for me to just go ahead and run the 1/0 Quote http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/141026-2001-bravada-build-2-15supdated/?fromsearch=1 ----old build!! http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194247-2005-chrysler-300c-buildslowwwww-lol/ -----new build!!
