Where would I put the fuses? i have 2 runs of 1/0 and a 3000d

you should make your own fuse block to accomodate 3 60 amp fuses. Fuse types that are popular are ANL, MIDI, MINI, AGU .... no maxi fuses allowed.

right....your 1/0 run from your battery up front will go straight to the battery in back, and the 1/0 from the battery in the back to the amp will be fused with 3 60 amp fuses in parallel

ok. How dangerous is that as to the recommended for the amp was 300?

Its not. It will just pop the fuse.

I suggest you buy a shitload of 60 amp fuses though.

10(fusing) + (cone area) = (pressure class #)

(cone area) = (pi)(radius)^2

i think i got this done.. lakota correct me if im wrong.. but the 2 runs of 1/0 will not be fused from main batt to rear batt.. and the wire from second batt to amp will be fused with (total of 80 amps) in AGU fuses...

Thanx lakota got this figured now for my boy tuesday we will get his shit fixed and ready to compete..If i make some plates to fit in place of the fuses will that disqualify him and just put a single 150 between rear battery and amp...

Just call me Ben:laugh: Yes, the fuses must be the closest thing to the amp. You can run a combined total of 80A of fusing and only use two fuses for S2.

Ex. of combinations:

1 - 80A fuse

2 - 40A fuses

1 - 70A fuse and 1 10A fuse

etc.....
