but why?

We have our little tricks in MECA to keep our fuses from popping. The photo really gives all the hints away.

250- 300 amp ?

Quite a bit less. Actually, 3 times less that that

or he is running a 50 ampre class and is running 20 x 2.5slow blow fuses so he can get some # with the correct fusing

No slow blows, they are AGU's. We're not allowed to have slow blows. These fuses are hard to find and they are quite strong for their rating

I have seen the tech before, good job, what class as far as ampres and what Deebee scores on that amperage?

thanks for sharing.

My team is running 3kW+ of power on 55A of fusing or less. As far as the current draw, I haven't clamped any of our amps yet. But, I do know of a competitor that is running 6kW of power off of this same setup with 55A of fusing The block in the pictures is from a Blazer that does a 146.5 (should do more soon) in AS2 with a Powerbass 3000 amp @ 0.5 ohm and a hdc315. Keep in mind that score is with the car off, music and a single battery. A 2500.1 and Type R is in there right now and it just did a 146.0 at a show.

Oh yeah, to make the score a bit more impressive, it is at the headrest //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

so headrest is better than dash, guess it makes sense, my car gets louder if I sit up in my seat (I ride reclined a bit)

Is a fuse setup like that harder on your equipment, would you use something like this in a daily??

The headrest is typically the hardest place in the car to meter. There's nothing wrong with using a fuse setup like this for daily. The only thing is that it's better to use these fuses for a show because if you pop all of them it gets expensive. We throw in bigger fuse ratings for daily.

That looks familiar //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif BTW, I'm running 6000 watts through 80 amps of fusing.
