Fuse Question

[YukonDCXL]

I have two dc 3.5s and I wanna know if I fused them properly. I added the dual 1/0awg inputs to each of them so a total of 4 power wired going from amps to bus bar and I fused each of those with 150 amp fuse... is this correct? also I put the 1/0 awg ground inputs in also but only had enough wire to run one ground to each amp, could this cause any problems having two power and only one ground?

[brent379]

so you have dual amp inputs for the power wire going to the amp but only 1 ground for the amp?

[islandpride684]

fuse to what your wire is rated for and also you should match your grounds to your power wire, so two runs of power to two runs of ground...

[YukonDCXL]

I will be adding my second ground, I just ran out.

[YukonDCXL]

Can it cause distortion the way it is now with only one ground per amp and two powers?

[MrSkippyJ]

it just makes having dual + inputs pointless.

I have cadence wire but not sure what fuses it calls for I think I saw they are supposed to be 200a

[Broke_Audio_Addict]

You fuse for your current demands not the wires rating, you should use the smallest fuse you can.

I am using 150's now and it works fine. What will happen if a fuse too big is being used?

[MrSkippyJ]

as long as it isn't too big for the wire rating you are fine.
