Boon Posted November 17, 2010 Report Posted November 17, 2010 Hold the fuckin' phone guys. What size wire are you running, before you go and put a 200A fuse on it. If you get a high-ish resistance short in a length of shitty 4 gauge with a 200A fuse on it you're probably gonna have a car fire on your hands. 10.x volts fo' life!

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.
