Are wire lugs & fuses electrical bottlenecks?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Kind of self explanatory from the title, but I was curious as to the opinions of others who might know more about electrical engineering as to whether or not lugs on power wires as well as fuses are a type of electrical bottleneck?

  • Pioneer AVH-X4500BT (PAC RP4CH11 harness)
  • (2) Sundown Audio SA-8v2 (inverted)
  • CT Sounds AT1400.1D

a properly crimped or soldered connection wont be anything to worry about, improper connections can be a large bottleneck though

Obama has a law he's trying to pass right now, trying to ban Leo for being a threat to children everywhere.
