hawkins6423 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Alright so I have three DVC 4 ohm subs hooked up to a sundown 3000d. Its three kicker l7 15" in a 18 cu ft box tuned to 33hz. It was hitting DAMN hard yesterday and I went to feel the Raptor Zero guage wire I used and it was kinda hot, so we gave it a rest and powered it up again late night, came back to look and the fuse fused to the fuse holder, and the positive wire was 5 minutes away from melting into the negative run ( I did one run neg/pos each batt to batt to batt) . Sooo... what I think I should do is: Sundown suggests a 300 amp external fuse(no internal fuses provided), so maybe upgrade to a 350? Also, do another run of zero guage? and just hook it up to the front side posts on my optimas seeing that I have a stinger 0/0 2 port terminal thats already occupied. I'm just checking my thinking, if anyone has any suggestions let me know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camino_1to3 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Upgrading to another fuse isn't gonna fix that problem. If you upgrade the fuse all that can do is make it worse, because then if something else goes wrong, fuse doesn't blow because it's rated over what it should be.

Noobtastic14 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 you need more runs of positive or upgrade your one run of 0 to a better quality wire with a higher count of pure strands -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

etaks_crew Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 In a parrelle connection they would be .67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentb Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 it might be pulling 300 amps, and your wire might be only able to handle 250, is it a true 300 amp capacity 0 gauge wire?

hawkins6423 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I have 3 batteries, all connected positive and negative with 0. So add another negative AND positive run.. or just positive. ? And I have them wired in parralel. 3 2x4ohm subs in parralel = .67 ohms.
