CommonSyns Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 Just have a question about the wiring of the Skar 4500.1D. I know that it has 2 sets of power and ground inputs but does that mean that I have to fuse both power wires going into the amplifier? I'm just wondering so that I don't do something wrong. I also noticed that the Skar 4500.1D takes a 450 amp fuse. I don't know where to find a fuse rated at 450 for my power wire. I don't feel like getting a 250 or 300 amp rated fuse and end up blowing the fuse. Or would I be okay with a 250 or 300 I don't think that I would be okay with that.

skaraudio Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 You would be fine fusing each power wire input with a 300 AMP ANL Fuse. Skar Audio www.SkarAudio.comPhone : (888) 501-7527

CommonSyns Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Posted February 7, 2013 I'm actually using 1/0 gauge CCA wire from audiotechix, Should I still fuse with a 300A Fuse or should I go with a 250A Fuse, I don't want to blow the fuses or damage the Amplifier. I am getting a 250A Alternator from Singer.

crazydoublekick Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 You'll be fine with either a 250 or 300 amp fuse on each power input. As long as your fuses equal or surpass the amp's fuse rating, you're set. 1993 Suburban 6 Crossfire XT3 15s Crossfire XS-16k Crossfire mids & highs and amps 65ah Cmax bank Iraggi 320a and Mechman 300a
CommonSyns Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Posted February 7, 2013 Even though I'm using CCA and not OFC? Would I burn up the wire if I used a 300A fuse?

You fuse for the wire quote name="Soahctnelis" post="2334759" timestamp="1360218042"] Even though I'm using CCA and not OFC? Would I burn up the wire if I used a 300A fuse? Cca is usually rated 250ish amps @ 20ft length... If your run is under that you'll be fine Edit.... Fucked that quote up.. I'm on mobile sorry .

sayhuh? Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 You'll be fine with either a 250 or 300 amp fuse on each power input. As long as your fuses equal or surpass the amp's fuse rating, you're set. Define surpass the amps fuse rating. Are you saying larger than the amps required fuse rating is ok??? Blown

Whoa, sorry, that was a bit of a mistype. I was trying to say that you should try to equal the amp's fuse rating. 1993 Suburban 6 Crossfire XT3 15s Crossfire XS-16k Crossfire mids & highs and amps 65ah Cmax bank Iraggi 320a and Mechman 300a
