micahmye Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Alright so I have two Orion D5000's that I bought new, If you are familiar with these amps they have 4 4ga power terminals, 2 positive and 2 negative. Also the fuse holder is external from the amp, its a ANL type fuse holder and it is 4ga also, My question is, how do I wire the fuse? Should I put the fuse on one of the positive wires and and one of them will be straight through and the other one fused? It's confusing because I would think that for protection you would want the whole positive power feed fused and not just one of the power leads because if there was any kind of electrical fault/failure you would want the fuse to burn, but if I use the config I stated above, there will still be a power feed even if the fuse were to burn. Let me know what you guys think. Quote "The Pimp Van" Build "The Pimp Van" Rebuild Youtube Photobucket Feedback For Sale
amazinblazin10 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 yeah i would think you'd want fuses on both power wires, and someone correct me if i'm wrong, just saying Quote 1997 Dodge Ram Van 2500 Big III addition with 1/0 awg wiring all throughout Lightning Audio Strike S4.1000.1D Jenson XA2250 2 - 12" Mtx Jackhammers JH55 3ft cubed box sealed under the rear bench seat Pioneer DEH-P6000UB head unit MB Quart FWA 160 components up front
micahmye Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Posted March 25, 2009 put a fuse on any and all power wires That's what I would think, thing is they only include one fuse holder and fuse with each amplifier, the included fuse is 250amp. Do I need to buy another fuse holder for each amp? Quote "The Pimp Van" Build "The Pimp Van" Rebuild Youtube Photobucket Feedback For Sale

micahmye Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Posted March 25, 2009 yes Damn, I'm starting to regret getting these Orion amps, anyone else have experience with them? Quote "The Pimp Van" Build "The Pimp Van" Rebuild Youtube Photobucket Feedback For Sale
Guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Damn, I'm starting to regret getting these Orion amps, anyone else have experience with them? why?...fusing is important Quote
micahmye Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Posted March 26, 2009 why?...fusing is important I would expect them to include the proper fusing for their amplifiers with the amplifiers or tell me up front that I will need to order a extra fuse holder because they are only including one and I will need two. Sorry, I live on a island in the pacific ocean so shipping takes forever and when I have setbacks like this that could have been avoided it's kinda annoying haha. Thanks guys for the help!

amazinblazin10 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 couldn't he get like a t-block after the fuse holder that goes to both amps, or would be be drawing too many amps through that fuse?

Boon Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 250A fuse means its for both terminals ;/ 250A is what you use to fuse 0ga, not 4ga. Are you sure it doesn't have 1x0ga in and 2x4ga out, would make more sense. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
