Keep blowing fuses. Need some input


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ok so before I start I know my electrical is pretty shit for the amount of power I'm running and I wasn't prepared for this but I got excited and just wanted to hear it. I've got a crescendo Bc 5500 with only 1 xs power d3400 under the hood and 1 xs d3100 in my trunk with a stock alt. Not sure on the amperage on the alt but obviously it's not enough. I continually blow the 300 amp fuses that I am running from the positive on the battery to the positive inputs on the amp. The amp is turned down low and I have yet to properly tune it with my dd-1. I just wanted some assurance that I am blowing these fuses because of my shit electrical rather than an issue with the amp. Thanks for any input

300 amps of fusing with what 500 amps of draw should be pretty obvious why.

So what you're saying is I should be using 2 250 amp fuses instead? I'm no expert so I'm just trying to diagnose this issue

no, me and n8 mis-read, i thought you were using 1 300a, so i suggested 2 300's or 250's, that is why i erased it and edited it.
