Bump4life Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 so i was just watching the video for the DC 10k. i was then looking at the specs on it. its fuse rating is 1000 amps. so i know it has 3 sets of power and ground so when fusing that do you put 350 amp fuses on each wire? i guess this is going to help me figure out how to fuse my new amp. so when fusing a large amp do you still use fuses? if so where to buy 350 amp fuses or 300 amp fuses that are quality? i know knu sells a 300 amp one.

Bump4life Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 nvm found where to buy fuises legit. i remember this site from anohter post https://vtewarehouse.com/content/electromech/fuse/html/anl/anlfuse.php now do we still fuse the amps? does it increase resistance a lot of we use too small of a fuse and it heats up?

HunterJohnson Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Doesn't matter the size, if you push it too hard the fuse pops. Then go bigger until u match what it's rated. Example Skar 1500 you can run a 100amp fuse but if it pops then run a 125 that shud be good. If it pops bc ur running it lower than 1ohm and putting tons of power move up to 150 but I wouldn't go over 150. Just a quick way to find what fuse you need is multiply the faze amp rating by 14 volts and there's ur watts that run run thru it Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Just remember, these fuses are slow blow fuses. IIRC a member on here ran something like 700 amps through one of those fuses for a burp. Given how dynamic music is, I doubt you would blow 300s Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bump4life Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 and no one answered my question. was it not clear enough. i personally dont have a DC 10k. i was just wanting to know how you would fuse it, jyust for my personal knowledge. and i also wanted to know if it was worth fusing a big amp like that. i know where to buy fuses if anyone read what was posted. sorry to sound like a dick guys if i am sounding like one, but read what i asked then look at your posts. my questions were: 1. what is proper way to fuse a DC 10k? this is just for my personal knowledge. 2. Where to buy fuses at? i already answered this myself in 3rd post in this thread. then this was my question again: quote from me: "now do we still fuse the amps? does it increase resistance a lot of we use too small of a fuse and it heats up?" snowdrifter was kinda close in answering, maybe i should be more specific. for a daily application, not a burp, will a smaller fuse that "slow blows" and its metal integrity slowy decreases everytime you draw a lot of current, increase resistance on the power wire and be bad for the amp and or limit power getting to amp due to higher resistance? yea you may be able to do it once, but how about everyday, for daily application.
