Miguels Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 why not search and find out? im not trying to be a dick but this question gets asked at least 10 times a day and they all end the same.. nothing in the procedures of how the big3 is done has changed in the last 3 hours. anything you find will be accurate. there hasnt been an update on the big3 i feel what you saying, i was just trying to get a general idea because i was ready to buy a big 3 kit off of sonicelectronix and most of them didnt come with fuses you dont need it but its one of those that could turn into the i should have added a fuse situations my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicHead804 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 okay. does that keep less strain on my alt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 no.. you just dont need a larger fuse. the reason you use a fuse is to protect the wire and gear. having a larger fuse defeats the purpose my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
