Depends; what kind of wire do you intend to use? From Alt to batt I'd use max rated amps for the wire.Quote:

Lol all good but if my amp is fused then can I get away with no fuse under hood... And since it's a stock alt won't a 150 amp fuse under good from alt to batt be ok cause I thought the amp couldn't push over that anyway ?? But ya always trading changing got a thread up now wit a basically new Skar vvx and a nice q I really just don't think I'll be happy till I got a pair and I'm always getting one woofer at a time so anybody wanna help wit a pair got something to trade let me know I'd let the q go for a vvx plus cash or the vvx go for a q and I'd addQuote:

yes u still need to fuse even if amp has fuses..what size wire are you using and what amp??
All 0 gauge ofc and at the moment a old school us made Hifonics pushin 1300 ish rms I'm planning on either saz 2500 3500 or Aq or something along those lines soon I sold my other big boy lol just waitin to get my pair of woofers that I'm ready to actually stick with then gunna pick a amp accordingly . Not really new to car audio just never used the big three always just ran more batts i was just wondering if I really needed all the extra fuses just thought maybe I was taught the safe way.. But ya I got reusable 250 amp fuses laying around I'll just run 2 of those and call it a day till I grab my other battQuote:
