Cashdollar2009 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Quick question, I am putting two runs of 2/0 from my front battery to my rear battery bank. I understand the placement of the fusing along each line, but was curious as to the size. I am planning to run a Crescendo 3k @ 1-ohm for 3000rms. The fuseholders shipped with 150 amp anl fuses. Would it be proper to just run 150 amp fuses in each holder on each line? I understand if I were trying to squeeze 3k out of one run of wire it would be drawing too much current theoretically, but could I divide the load out between the runs? Thanks ahead!

Ok, so 2 runs of 2/0 to the back batts, then 2 runs from those batts to the crecendo? You shouldn't need 2 runs to the amp, I believe the amp terminals are only designed for 0 gauge, and a single 300a fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEvil Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 should be ok..... but might want to get a pair of 200's in case they blow. Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

skittlesRgood Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 that will work with 150amp fuses. BUT you have this nice thick 2/0 wire that you are putting a very small bottle neck on. i would get a 300amp just for better current flow.

TeejayBee Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 just do 300a fuse on each line and call it a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandiman71874 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 actually, if you are doing it correctly its 2 fuses per run, one after the front battery and one right b4 the rear battery bank on each front to back run. Doing this will help prevent electrical fires in the event that the wire would get rubbed through anywhere and short to ground.

Starting battery===Fuse on each============Fuses again==Rear Batt Bank--Fuse---------Amp. I understand placement, and will be purchasing a few 300A this weekend, but wanted to know how well the 150's would hold up for the time being. Thanks guys!

finkster Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Depending in who makes the fuses, they may blow or may not. Theoretically if you're making over 3kw they would blow, but music is dynamic. Definitely upgrade to the largest fuse possible for 2/0. 300 is fine also.
