I guess If your running a high output alternator such as an Iraggi 300amp
like mine, or a mechman, mean green, ohio generator,excessive amperage. The
small fusing up front under your hood wont hold. If your fusing for 150
amps, and you have a 200+ amp alt your alts going to make that current to
charge those drained batteries. Current flows thru the route with least
resistance, so it will pull power from your rear batteries before your
front bat/alt once your alt puts out full power pop goes fuse
I liked how you took into consideration for power surges, very smart move.
As I said in a reply to your isolater response, I guess it comes down to
what you use your stereo for. Im a bassracer, I wanna be sure to have the
least resistance possible in my car and have the max current flow allowed
for my wires. Many people in comps dont run fuses because they cause
resistance, which is true, but bad not to fuse. A 300 amp fuse is better
then none. :) But then awseome videos none the less :)
What is considered a high powered system though ? As i understand it your
stock alt can usually power between 1000w and 1200w RMS meaning 2000w peak
and 2400p - Me personally I added a 200 amp alt, and wired up 2 bats with
6 gauge cable, then ran 4 gauge to my mono amp and 8 gauge to my 4 ch.
Everything seems just peachy and I havent had any problems, and I also
didn't have a need for the big three.
I know what you mean. Fuses can be a real pain. Especially when one blows
and your nowhere near a store that carries the one you need. You are
absolutely right. In the competition environment, you want as few failure
points as possible. Maximum fusing is pretty much the only choice. Wow a
bassracer! You guys amaze me. I wish I could be as intune with my system as
you guys are.
good work .. thats how i judge what fuses i need aswell =)
