Finishing Up My Build, Any Thoughts?

Buy another 15 and wall it...
Have some fiberglass door panels built for 3 way front stage.

A wall in a bug? I can barely run one 15 with my limited electrical. My doors are midbass and tweets with the midrange right behind the seat. A wall would be interesting though. I sense some sarcasm in your post.

A wall... sure... it'll change the cabin dynamic up front, make use of your limited power and give you a project.
I think its a good idea

18” where they put the fuse on that short ass run of wire

Kinda curious on that as well. I put mine at least 12" to 15" from my battery. Most of my runs have always been at least 15 feet sometimes up to 20 depending on which car I had or was working on for a friend.

My bad (again). It's about a 36" run with a 250a fuse. For some reason, the installer ran it to the second battery, which is about 18" away from the main battery. I'm going to get it changed out to 1/0 on Wednesday.

My amps and batteries are fairly close to each other. The batteries are right inside those doors.

Fuses are for ******* anyway.

BS!

Why is that? Fuses are necessary.

I don't use them on very big amps myself generally. It just becomes too much work/fabrication once you get beyond the ratings you can get in a single fuse.

Huh? Taramps don't have internal fuses.

It's too much work to add an in-line fuse?

Over 1000A it starts to get complicated and I'm somewhat number chasing so I'd prefer to have as little resistance as possible on the big stuff.

I always run fuses. Cheap safety. Get into an accident; wire gets pinched and your whole vehicle could go up into flames.

Pull the fuse when removing amps or re routing wire and not have to worry about wrapping all your ends with electrical tape or worry about arching somewhere.

I never said that ****. I have my stuff installed professionally. Nice try though.

I never said that, nice try though. All my stuff is fused properly.
