dugee81 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 replace the fuse with 100 amp. the wire should suffice. you should really relocate your grounding location, the seat belt bolt isnt a true ground. i mean it is, but you could find a much better spot. somewhere actually located on the frame of the car.

Alex K Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 fuse size? wire size? amps? batteries? grounding points? big 3? we cant pull an answer out of thin air. ROFL! sorry didnt know. it a jl 1000/1 amp. with jl 4 gauge, memphis fuse block with a 150 or 175 amp fuse.. i will have to go double check tommorow, with a yellow top optima battery and a ho alternator. Why such a big fuse >.> Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track. My Feedback Thread i used to think a band pass was something you were around your neck or something.

mosthated89 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 alright thanks man i appreciate it. and thats the fuse that was in it when i got it so i just left it in there. it might actually be like a 125 or something like that i just know that it completely melted the fuse block and didnt blow the fuse. i will put up a pic tommorw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugee81 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 yeah it has to do with resistance, melting the wire n whatnot. i would try finding another ground and see if that fixes the problem. JL 4awg should be able to carry the current for your 1000/1. BUT it would never hurt to upgrade to a larger wire.

skittlesRgood Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 ok so the wire is melting at the fuse block because its the point of most resistance. if the wire melts before the fuse blows then the fuse is too big for the wire but it should also mean that you are pulling more current than the wire can take. that or the fuse block sucks. go with the 2awg since you already have it. also go to BCAE1.com and click on "wire" it'll tell you everything you need to know. even if you just skip to the pics.

mosthated89 Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 ok so i switched to 2awg wire and a better quality fuse block andit seems to be good. i also heard that my amp draws alot of power and if my alternator cant keep up that it will burn up my wires. is this true?

mosthated89 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Like everyone already said, AND WHAT IS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, use a MINIMUM of 4ga., and 100 AMP fuse... You're lucky you didnt burn your vehicle to the ground... The 4 ga is only recommended if you are NOT running another amplifier with your 1000/1... The answers were right at your fingertips, try reading next time... if everyone already said it then why are you saying it again? im NOT running another amp with my 1000/1 amp and i dont have an owners manual but thanks have a nice day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
