newls1 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'll be installing all my power wire/ground wire, etc.... this week, and might as well go and do the bigIII while im at it, so I was wondering what size fuse to go inline from the ALT, to the BATT? My alt (currently will be using stock 145amp alt) is very close to the batt, so should I do 2 runs of 0GA or is just 1 run ok? Thanks.....

newls1 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) This is the exact wire I bought (full spool of 50FT) (http://www.darvex.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=RMAX1R50&Product_Count=1) all this wire will be installed in my 02 tahoe, and my question is, do you think 50FT will be enough for 2 runs from front batt to rear batt? I will have 2 batts in rear (HC800 kenetics) do I also do 2 runs of (+) to each batt in rear (will be short ass runs, as the batts will be next to each other) Is there a wire diagram that can help me here. Im a smart guy, and can learn to wire anything, but I would hate to fuck this up if I wire something wrong, so if someone can assit me here, that would be awesome.

newls1 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 OK, I just wont use a fuse, the wire will only be 1foot in length, and in a place where nothing can bother it, it will be just fine! Thanks this just saved me $20 bucks!. How about fuse ratings for running 2 runs of 0/1ga to the rear batts? What fuse size would you use? Thanks Quote I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
