Power wire and fuses


Recommended Posts

Thanks Jay, I recommended 1/0 to him as I have never readily seen 2 gauge for sale.

It is readily available, it's called "the install bay" "0 gauge" on ebay, lol.

But seriously, you just need to run wire that can take the power those amps need, I'd go with real 0 gauge, fuse accordingly at 200-250 amps by the battery, and use a distribution block to bring it down to 4 gauge for both of the amps, and fuse them accordingly.

Also, while you're at getting the right wire and fuses and fuse blocks, get an extra fuse and block and some extra wire and do the big three.

These are good fuse blocks, I use them all the time, cheap and combined shipping ftw: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300417204547&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#shId

Need some cheap ass terminals too? check here: http://impulse-electronics.com/terminals_splices.aspx?sub_key=&id=91&cat_nm=10&key=Eyelet%20Terminals

I bookmarked that site, those terminals hit the spot pricewise. I just ordered 12 0/1 gauge terminals from KNU, about 1.75 a pop, but they are nice ones too, I got a great deal on there wire, and free shipping. A couple days after I bought it the wire went up like 50 cents a foot :P
