Am I Loosing Any power

[jdmferio13 10+ year member]

Just wondering if Im losing power.I have a 200 amp alt and xs d5100 up front with a xs d3100 in the rear.From the d5100 to the d3100 is a run of klmx pos-pos fused twice at 250 amps and the d3100 is grounded in the rear.From the back batt I am running kicker hyperflex to the amp fused at 250.My question is being that the pos run connecting the batts will only handle 250 max and my amp is rated (3krms) I only have a 250 amp fuse .How much will I gain adding bigger wire ofc and 300 amp fuses instead of klmx

are you monitoring voltage at the amp and back battery? what voltage do you maintain with system on, car on? and what voltage when the car is off?

What kind of power do you have? I doubt you'd see any improvement in power unless you're using something that's more than 3kw.

Im running a crunch gp3k pro and stated above 5100 up front d3100 in the rear with car at idle its 14.3 at full tilt at 2krpm it maybe goes down to 14.0.I just hate having a 250 amp fuse for the crunch when it says use a 300 amp fuse.

Im not much to talk about power loss, but ive had 2 very bad experiences with crunch amps.
