Benzino Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 I just hooked up my old system and its 4gauge wiring and 80 fuse.. the round ones in the front.. and they keep blowing.. whats the best fuses to use the round or square fuses? how big do the round ones get? what do you all use? Quote

Does the fuse blow instantly? I never did like the AGU fuses, I use ANL and Maxi. What amp(s) are you using?

EVAlonSo Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Also watch for voltage drops. volts x amps = watts. the lower you volts drop the more amps you will pull. First post. Quote

Not sure what you mean by the round one? Quote
EVAlonSo Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 I think hes talking about the barrel fuses Quote
Benzino Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Posted November 18, 2009 its a d2400 directed amp.. it doesnt blow instantly when i turn it up loud it blows.. do they make alot bigger than the 80s? thanks Quote
EVAlonSo Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Yeah they make bigger ones, but i would switch to an ANL fuse. my shop switch from the barrel fuses to ANL fuses because customers weren't crimping down the sides of their distro block or fuse holder correctly. ANL eliminates user error. if i was you i would pick up a 100 amp fuse, and if you blow that one i would start looking for a new/better battery. also on a side note, what brand wire do you have? is it true 4 gauge? that would cause voltage drop also Edited November 18, 2009 by EVAlonSo Quote
silversound Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 I do not think they make AGU fuses larger then 80 amp.

Boon Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Of course it's gonna blow fuses... what ohm load do you have it wired to? At 2 ohms it probably pulls close to 100A, at 1 ohm maybe 150A. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
MXmike800 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 your pulling way to much current for the fuse figure out what rating fuse you need and put the correct one in there. Quote
