intrevic Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 Ok so I have measured everything out and I'm getting ready to order the things I need to do the big 3. So my question is do I still need the fuse for the positive wire from the alternator since my car has a 150 amp fuse built into the assembly. I will post a picture for you guys to see and let me know.
snafu Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 Be sure and check out our Big 3 Upgrade Kits first! You can see them here at - http://www.ceautoelectricsupply.com/big3kits.html You will find on that page an explanation of the purpose of the fuse between the alternator and battery and we offer them in six different sizes. Don't forget, SMD Members get 10% off and I'm currently running all 2 AWG Big 3 Upgrade Kits at 20% off for SMD Members! Keep in mind that 2 AWG OFC is at least as good of a conductor as 1/0 AWG CCA!

intrevic Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Posted September 27, 2013 I understand that you need a fuse for protection but my question is very simple do you still a seperate fuse just for the 0 AWG that I am adding even though the factory positive terminal has 150 amp fuse built into it. If I could figure out how to attach my picture from my computer I would be able to show you what I mean. It's 2013 Hyundai Sonata so you know how it is with these new cars and all there features.
audiolamb6 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 yes u do if the wire was to ground out it could kill your alt or your battery
intrevic Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Posted September 27, 2013 I understand that but wouldn't the 150 fuse on the post blow out
ham4864 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 yes.but what about the wire with no fuse. 2009 bmw 5 series Head Unit Stock Amplifier-JL Audio JX 360/4 Processor- Audiocontrol LC6
audiolamb6 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 it may but that wire that is not fused will probably start a fire if the power is not stop by say a fuse. just like when u do ur runs from front to back u fuse in the front and in the back
intrevic Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Posted September 27, 2013 I just figured since its being bolted down to the screw where the fuse is it wasn't necessary
intrevic Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Posted September 27, 2013 By the way should I use another 150 amp fuse or go higher
