J00bles Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 i imagine you're using 1/0 wiring... 1/0 can handle 300-350 AMPS before it goes into melt down, so i'd try a fuse in that size range. i personally use 300 amp fuses all the way through my electrical system EDIT***** i noticed that you're running KLMX wire, so i'd recommend 250- 300 amps for the fusing. you are on the border of needing to upgrade your wiring, because it simply can not handle that amount of current. 8 DC Level 4 M2 15s2 DC Audio 5ks26^2 clamshell tuned to 30hz9 Kinetik 1400sMechman externally reg'd 340 S seriesin a 99 Jeep Cherokee Click to see J00bles' Youtube Channel

J00bles Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 u dont if u want ur car 2 be used as a bbq pit i think what you're trying to say is: you can burn your car down if you dont use them. if you manage to short circuit or draw more amps than your wire can handle... expect the wire to go into "melt down" as i mentioned above. 8 DC Level 4 M2 15s2 DC Audio 5ks26^2 clamshell tuned to 30hz9 Kinetik 1400sMechman externally reg'd 340 S seriesin a 99 Jeep Cherokee Click to see J00bles' Youtube Channel

brewer_brewer Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 you don't have to fuse your negative wires for the big 3. just pointing that out so no one does it. sounds dumb but people do strange things anyway. i would do a 300 amp fuse as well for 1/0 alt to battery wire REFS http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/itrader.php?u=2026 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/44535-official-brewer-brewer-feedback/page__p__625998__hl__brewer__fromsearch__1entry625998 "you're not allowing natural selection to work, you're like the guy that invented the seatbelt"
