I am doing the big 3 tomarrow. So i was looking in the pinned post on how to. Well do i have to use a fuse holder from batt positive to alt positive? If so how do i know what size fuse to use on it? If i do im running around 500 watts. the fuse rating for my inline is 80 is that wat i need in the one from alt+ to batt+. plus my alt is a stock one. thanks for any help

if you are 100% certain that the wire will never rub against anything and your crimp on the end of the alternator wire from battery will never come loose, then $30 is worth not worrying about a fire. Just my 2 cents.

God damn its hot today. My balls are stuck to my leg.

80 is enough for 500 w RMS.

I would add a fuse.. $30 not waste on fuse when you found out that your car set on fire. It depend on the size wire you're using. Go check the sticky thread...

yea i went and ran my 0 gauge through my fire wall started around 1 didnt finish till bout 5. Had a few set backs on not being able to get through the fire wall lol. I ended up spending like 60 bucks at one of the local shops and all i got was a fuse holder, 150 amp fuse, 6ft. of 4 gauge, and 2 ring terminals. I used a bench vice to crimp my terminals to my 0gauge, then i did a pull test to make sure they wouldnt come off. I only upgraded my alt + to batt+. Also because i have a side post batt in my car and its odd how theres 3 stock wires to my positive batt terminal one was the alt positive but i didnt know wat the other 2 were for.

thats how mine is. it's goes... 1 goes to the alt, 1 goes to the starter, and 1 goes to power distribution.
