[QUOTE="BigOne, post: 5255330, member: 602941"] im buying a amp wire kit and it comes with a 300 amp fuse + fuse holder and im wondering if its bad to have a higher rated amp fuse than your alternator? Im getting a new alternator which is going to be rated around 160 amps, so will a higher amp fuse break anything or make anything go wrong? alot of people say its based on what type of wire you are using, well im going to be using a 1/0 gauge wire "big 3 upgrade" so im wondering if it will be fine without any problems. [B]Also:[/B] do i need to replace my original battery fuse once i get a loud sound system? im going to be getting a 1500 rms system and the main amp power cord will be connected to a fuse holder + fuse, so will i also need to upgrade the battery fuse even though i have one on the wire? sorry i know nothing on fuses:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
