Efreakingt Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 So I'm wiring a single pole double throw relay for my remote wire to my amps, fans and lights. Do I need fuses on every wire going in and coming out?
knowledge Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 technically no but if u wanna protect them from user error or on accident yes. REFF'SMy linkEBAYhttp://feedback.ebay...ck&myworld=trueI love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.
ShadeTreeMechanic Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 No. Just put a fuse on the supply to the relay. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon)
SnowDrifter Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Fuse your constant 12v (supply) as you would any other wire. Switched power may or may not need to be fused depending on your source ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
Efreakingt Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Posted June 6, 2016 I figured I'll be running the deck remote wire into it and then running off my amp power and ground distro blocks. Then at minimum I'll have the 2 amplifiers and a fan running off it, possibly my interior led floor lights.

For your constant 12v(supply) to your relay: Fuse that as close to the power source as is practical that way the greatest length of cable is protected from a short. If you really want to be slick, CE Auto Electric Supply has some fused distribution blocks so you can fuse each wire individually. Depending on what gauge wires you use for everything; this may or may not be needed. http://www.ceautoelectricsupply.com/fuseholders.html ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
