CUT BUDDY Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Say u have 1900 amps worth of fuses on ur amplifiers. Now so far as runs between the front battery and rear batteries; Do u "HAVE" to have the same amount of fuses between that as u do on ur amps? or would it be better to run 4-runs of 3/0 with 4-500amp fuses?

andym85 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 i would say the minimum fusing would be whatever your amps are fused at...in your case 1900amps. so i would do the 4 runs of 3/0 with 4-500amp fuses...just to be safe. out of curiosity what amps u using?

CUT BUDDY Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 havent decided on 4-MM4000.1Ds or just 2-MM4000.1Ds. But Imma run 4-fully loaded BTLs for sure though. Im just scrambled about 2 or 4 amps. They have 400amps fuses on them each. I was gonna run 3-MM100.4D amps for highs and mids so thats 300amps just between those 3. If I get 2 big sub amps then I'll have 1100amps of fuses, if I go all out and do 4 big sub amps then that will be 1900. I know 2 would sound good but I dont know if 2k rms each would be killa loud though. Im just weighing my options on the electrical side of things to help me make up my mind. If I get 4 amps then Id have to get the dual 2ohm BTLs which really are 1.5ohms making th amp read a 3ohm load. The amp does 4K rms x 1 @ 2ohm so at 3ohm it would run a lil more efficiently but Im sure I'll still get the power out of it cuz its underated.

Guest MegaloManiac Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 u run the highest rating fuse for that wire. fuse on wire is to protect wire not amps, your amps have their own fuses. I suggest multiple runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUT BUDDY Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Yea I figured, I wanted to make sure. Cuz Ive seen guys running an amount of fuses in their runs that wasnt the same amonut that was on their amps. They probably werent getting all their power though Quote TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUT BUDDY Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 So for 1900 amps of fuses on the amps. Do u think a HC1400 up front, 5- HC2600s in the back, 4-runs of 3/0 with 4-500amp fuses and 2-Iraggi 260 or 280amp alts. Aught to get'r done for a daily? The vehicle would be on when Im playing it. (the reason for the mid size alts is for the idle amps) Quote TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MegaloManiac Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 name the amperage for each amp indivisually please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUT BUDDY Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I just thought about it the BTL dual 2ohm model is really dual 1.5 ohm.............the MM4000.1D in 2000x2@1ohm and 4000x1@2ohm. I could hook the each voice up in its own channel and the amp would do about 1800x2 cuz it would read 2x1.5ohm...hmmmmm. Id still get at the least 3600rms to each at 12.5v which aint bad at all considering that amp doesnt cost but a grand. Thanks, guys Quote TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUT BUDDY Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 name the amperage for each amp indivisually please MM4000.1D has a 400amp fuse each and I want 4 of em so thats=1600amps of fuses MM100.4D has 100amp fuse each and I want 3 of em so thats=300amps of fuses Quote TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
