VOPA Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 There is some truth to what that guy says, but mostly, he is a bit full of shit and exaggerative in his claims. He doesn't use any references or science. Him, along with various forums and other independant sources are part of the reason that the internet has earned a bad reputation. People read something and then spread it around like it is the end-all-be-all- final say on a topic and eventually they come to be known as facts which is a real load of wait wait hold the fucking phone. are you telling me there is SOME truth to what the guys over at BCAE post on their site? i have NEVER seen a wrong piece of information on that site, ever. nor have i seen someone point out a wrong piece of information. why dont you actually say my name (if you're talking about me) instead of saying "that guy" or "him". Chill out I didn't say your name becuase I wasnt talking about you, i was saying him as in the guy who wrote the piece for the site you had linked to.

CaptainzPlanetz Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 What brand is the wire you are running, if its wal-mart 4 gauge its more like 8 guage.....Personally I would just get a 4 gauge kit from Knukonceptz and call it a day, unless you plan on upgrading your alt soon and running 2000+rms with multiple battery's in the back the 4 guage from Knu will serve you well ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............ All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

Beanz Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Look man get a 150 amp fuse a anl and call it good.If you get a 200-250 amp fuse on it it wont blow when you reach its fuses ampacity and you'll just burn the wire and then you have a car fire..Well pretty much what boon said as i read it agian lol just geta 150 and then procede to upgrade if you get anything else higher. That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 whats hard to understand about you need larger wires, not a larger fuse. that fuse was put in the kit he bought because that is what those wires are rated for. do not just put a larger fuse. terrible idea. please check your connections and get nice 4g wires. end of story.... 2001 dodge ram 2500 quad cab 5.9L V8 my build logs... dodge build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94914-mpretes-2001-dodge-ram-2500-quad-cab-build-log/ trik build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94447-trik-build/page__p__1298547__hl__trik__fromsearch__1entry1298547 box building thread- very cool designs (PICS!!!) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/95713-2d-or-3d-box-pics/page__gopid__1318152entry1318152 i am a mechanic, pm me if you have questions or anything.

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 try to turn up the volume a little bit but not to blow the fuse and feel the power and ground wires and see if they are getting warm or hot. if they are you will burn up your car with even a 150 amp fuse... 2001 dodge ram 2500 quad cab 5.9L V8 my build logs... dodge build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94914-mpretes-2001-dodge-ram-2500-quad-cab-build-log/ trik build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94447-trik-build/page__p__1298547__hl__trik__fromsearch__1entry1298547 box building thread- very cool designs (PICS!!!) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/95713-2d-or-3d-box-pics/page__gopid__1318152entry1318152 i am a mechanic, pm me if you have questions or anything.

techforce Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I would go with a 300 amp anl.. They are only protecting against shorts so the less resistance for the current going through the fuse the better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Why though? There is no point, He doesn't need 0g, and he sure as heck doesn't need 1/0g, that's just crazy. I like how every time someone asks a question about electrical everyone froths at the mouth and suggest 350 amp alternators and 3 batteries for a 1000 watt amp or something. The heck? It takes like 500 amps to blow a 200 amp fuse, and even that could take several seconds. I could be wrong about this but I always thought that 1/0g and 0g were the same thing.
