Do I need to swap out my inline fuses?

[BIGTOSH 10+ year member]

I have a 300a fuse after my front battery and another 300 before the back battery.Now i'm looking into getting a new aq3500.1d. the imfo says it has dual o gauge power imputs and requires a 380a inline. first question would be if i have 300a on both imputs am i good or do i need 380 on both? second would be with that type of current draw plus the draw of my 4ch amp,do i need to upgrade my other two inline fuses (one after front batt and one before rear batt)?

no offense but you need to learn alot more about the 3500 its a beast as far as fuses if theres 2 inputs take the fuse rateing and divide by 2 if theres 3 take fuse rateing and divide by 3. as far as power your gonna need an high output alt and batts

you only need the 380 between the amp and battery. there shouldnt really be 300a flowing between batteries.

Fusing between the battery an alt is rated for the WIRE/CABLE. Fuse between the amp and battery is rated for the AMP.

and current divides in a parallel circuit so each input should get ~200A fuse.

Already have ho alt and batts. Just needed to know about the fuse ratings

Thanks. Will do dual 200
