tibs Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 well if you get a short in the middle the front fuse pops, but the back battery still is going to short out and do whatever its gonna do once shorted out.

Boon Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ideally you should have 3 fuses - 1 at each end of the run from front to back and 1 between the back battery and your amp/s. You have to ask yourself - could this ever somehow become short? If it falls out of the amp's terminal, where will it go? If you're happy enough that it's not going anywhere (happy enough to stake your car on it) then you don't need a fuse For amps with no fuses... I don't add an extra fuse for them personally. If the power supply fails 'short' then the parts tend to noisily and explosively remove themselves from the current path until there's nothing left conducting Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

The enD Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ideally you should have 3 fuses - 1 at each end of the run from front to back and 1 between the back battery and your amp/s. Why 1 at each end? If the first fails there will be a second one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandiman71874 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Say you dont have a fuse at both ends of your powerwire and you have a rear bat as well. If your power wire should happen to get rubbed through and ground out in the middle of the run, and you are only fused at the front, you will still have power feeding from the rear battery after the front fuse has blown. with a fuse at both ends you eliminate the current being able to go through the cable at all, therefor eliminating a fire hazard in the instance that would happen being that both of the fuses will have popped...

The enD Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 The first time I installed my audio, I blew a fuse. I connected the +/- to the amp the other way... But what if I am very careful and checked all the wired like 10 times? Do I need a fuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got_Bass89 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 You don't nessarily need a fuse anywhere but... When something happens and your shit blows up or your car goes up in flames your gonna wish you had a fuse lol Quote Passport Build Here Alarm: Prestige APS997A 2-Way/Remote Start HeadUnit: Pioneer DEH-P6000UB Front Battery: Yellowtop Optima D34/78 Back Battery: 2x C&D Technologies High Rate Series UPS12-475FR 134AH Subs: 2x DC Lv4XL 18's Amps: 2x Sundown Saz1500's Strapped Box: 12Cubes 33hz 185sqin Port(15.4sqin per cube) Pillars: AudioBahn AS31Q Front Doors: Clif Designs TX40.5 Back Doors: Clif Designs CD50.4C Rear Speakers: Clif Designs TX46.5 Front/Rear Amp: Kicker ZX350.4 Back/Pillars Amp: Kicker ZX200.2(Looking for another zx350.4) Electrical: 1/0 Scorpion Wire 2 Runs Pos and 2Runs Ground, Knu 1/0 Flex Running to Amps ect, Big 3, JL 8Ga For Speaker Wire, Knu Karma RCA's, Scorpion Volt Meter Deadener: 100 sqft Sound Destroyer Mat And SECOND SKIN Damplifier Pro Door Pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
