Fuse for your current demands

I fuse for my wire :shrug:

lets say i have a alt,.. that does 100 amp

But, i put a 2/0 wire on it.. cuz.. MORE IS BEST, and COOL right?

would you fuse it to 450 amp ?

...

then your wire IS the fuse.............

this happens when running "duals" and many other times.......

fusing to "wire load" is NOT always best...... not with what "we" do...

Sure the extra fusing is useless.. But meh.. It's not unsafe from my understanding.. And works for me.

Put dual ins on your amp...

2 1.0 runs..

would you fuse them both to "wire load" ?

so the ONE in would pull 700 amp? ???

then your just banking on the wire as a break...

i would ALWAYS re read what i say....... if it dont make sense to you.......

just sayin

Some people say to fuse for wire on your big 3 from battery to alt, and some people don't fuse for the big 3 from battery to alt (I do fuse wherever I can). But to answer your question, put a 200 amp fuse in and you'll be good..

Fuse for the current demands.

if you have an amp that draws 100 amps what's the point in fusing any higher than that?

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

I do fuse for current demands. That's why I said put a 200 amp fuse.. And I was just about to write that I'm with you and kyle on fusing for current demands.

And if you re read my post I was talking about what some people say about fusing for big 3 from batt to alt not fusing to your amp.
