ChevyBoy Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I thought it was ring terminal on bottom, nut, fuse, washer, lock washer, then nut? atleast that's how we do it.*edit* just noticed the nut is fixed on the bottom, so ignore ring terminal on bottom. I'd almost be willing to bet money this is your problem... because you have it going nut, washer, ring terminal, lock washer, fuse, washer, and nut. ok in this case it should be, nut on bottom (of course), fuse, ring terminal, washer, lock washer, then nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewes Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 ok in this case it should be, nut on bottom (of course), fuse, ring terminal, washer, lock washer, then nut So its the orders of my washers and nuts that fucked up my entire system?

ChevyBoy Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 probably not unless they were arching somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewes Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 probably not unless they were arching somehow So... back to the drawing board I guess. Also, would I need to upgrade my 300a fuse when I put my second sundown1500 in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey2714 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 no, the fuse protects the wire. its 1/0 so 300 amps is perfect Quote play Moola.com its actually fun and free... click here to join Money games! its just games with free money!

ChevyBoy Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 do you have a mids/highs amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewes Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 do you have a mids/highs amp? Uh shit other than the stock one (I think theres a stock bose amp) no. Why could this cause problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 no that would just me more amperage pull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznboi3644 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 is the power wire heating up??? seems like there is a lot of resistance at the fuse holders and battery terminal...heat is simply caused by resistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewes Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 is the power wire heating up???seems like there is a lot of resistance at the fuse holders and battery terminal...heat is simply caused by resistance Could it be the connections were soldered with the wrong type of solder? Or solder is the same no matter what right? Thats the last thing I can think of that would cause resistance at the battery and up front. I did take off all the washers and just put the fuse with the two lock nuts and tightened it down real good and I have had no problems... Yet.
