Fusing shorter power wire from bat to amp


Recommended Posts

Posted

If you have a battery in the trunk, and you're running about a 3-4 ft 1/0 power wire, where on that wire would you want to fuse? Closer to the battery correct? Within 18 inches? Is that just a standard rule? Can if be closer, say within like 4 inches? I just don't want those big ass knu fuse holders in the center of my wire if that makes sence.

sorry for the fheg question

i used to think a band pass was something you were around your neck or something.

within 18 inches of your Amp, that is also part of MECA rules just a little fyi.

AFAIK, it can be as close as you want it to be, but it shouldn't be further than 18 inches away.

You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive.

Are you sure about that. I just glanced over the rulebook online, and all it says is

Fusing or manual reset circuit breaker(s) must be located within 18" of battery termination

Page 34

AAH. NVM. I found the rule.

Look @ page 8 number 4

4. In-line fuse(s) must be placed immediately before the subwoofer amplifier(s) a maximum of 18” from the amplifier(s) and all positive power

wires leading to the subwoofer amplifier(s) must be fused.
