How To Properly Fuse Amps and Rear Batteries

[TheyDontWantMusic]

I wasn't talking to you.

is it necessary to run a 2nd fuse from the power line running from the batt up front to the batt in the back? i have one up front by the front batt but i dont have one in the back running to the rear ones

There are some people on this forum that most would not get into an argument with...iso is one of them. To even suggest what you did....

*edit - why risk your hard earned money. Be safe, fuse it.

yes! or the fuse at the front is doing nothing.

That's half true it still protects the front battery... But yes you should have a secondary fuse before the secondary battery

you're not fusing to protect the battery, you're fusing to prevent the cable from catching on fire.

I'm not going to argue with you but you said it did "nothing"

And it is doing something

its doing nothing to protect your car, audio gear, or power cable.

happy?

you need to go out there tomorrow and fix this right away, this is very dangerous, all it takes is your power cable shorting and your whole vehicle will go up in flames, put a fuse withing 12 inches of any battery, batteries hold enormous amounts of energy and they will discharge all that energy very quickly when something is shorted, doesnt matter what size wire you are running, it will burn through it in a heat beat basically turning that wire into little wires like inside a toaster, you know how they turn orange and cook your toast, well they will cook your vehicle in a ball of fire!!!

I did answer your question but your lack of real world experience is keeping you from understanding what I have written.

Look the whole idea of fusing has to do with keeping the damage as limited as possible when a component fails.

where? there's nothing intelligent contributed by you in this thread. Yes there is you are just not able to read and comprehend.

I'm beginning to wonder if you even understand how a fuse works.

You seem to not understand how a fuse works and that is pretty damn sad. You have not even explained how an ANL fuse works. This is something that you need to answer before you go and read up about about without researching it

I want you to explain the details and this might help you understand why a fuse is needed at the AMP?

an 80amp fuse at the battery will have the exact same effect in protecting an amplifier that the manufacturer recommends running an external 80amp fuse.

Why do you keep using the 80 amp fuse for a 1000 watt amp. A 1000 watt amp must have at least 100 amps worth of fusing. So there is some proof that you have no idea how to handle the math to figure out what size fuse for large amplifiers.

what are you even trying to argue? I'm not you are.

I don't have a lack of real world experience, nor do I have a lack of theoretical knowledge, it seems you lack both

I know you don't have 16 years worth of experience and I'm confident that you didn't have 2 pros that were highly experience from DB Drag racing training you. ([Jeff Sherrick and Eric Parsley] and Training I received from Auto Illusions of Newark,OH)

I'm not arguing you dum son of a bitch. Number 1, our way is the best and the most smart way to install an amplifier. Period.

Before you question my abilities why don't you look up all of my post and the very few threads that I have started. Then if you have the balls to come back on here and say that I don't know anything, at least you will find out real quick after reading my Pinned threads and all the tech support I have offered people and all be damn that you will find out how beneficial I am when I help.

Again that is why this is

alright enough dude, I dont want this thread closed, it is for information, please leave this alone, you sound like a prick in every post you make and your not starting your membership here real well IMO....
