fuse holder for 2/0?

Where are you guys getting your fuse holders etc for the bigger wire? I am gonna run some 2/0 and all the major car audio brands' fittings and fuse holders only seem to go up to 1/0. TIA.

I havent seen any. I havent reallyt looked either. Perhaps you could trim it down?

Sorry for not really helping. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I dont like trimming the wire down. Call me anal. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Im thinking more and more I'll just make a fuse holder for some maxi fuses.

Sooo... anyone have any pics of homemade fuse holders for big stuff? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Id still be interested if anyone knows where to buy some decent ones too.

Thanks for trying tapout. lol

No.

The "fuse holders" I've seen for 2/0 are really nothing more than thick Lucite or Lexan with bolts for ANL fuses...

the smaller the gauge the bigger the wire......i thought

These may be big enough for 2/0

Until you get to 0 gauge, then it starts being 00, 000, 0000 (2/0, 3/0, 4/0, etc...)

That's what I would use. Partsexpress had them for like $3.50 last month. You might have to trim the plastic opening a little to make em work, and just get some 2/0 ring terminals...

You could do like the MECA competitors and just pick up aluminum or copper brackets from a hardware store and bolt an ANL fuse to 2 of them. Then bolt the wire to other parts of the brackets. Its not safe at all, but so what P

LOL Thanks guys.

Yeah Ive found the VTE stuff too. Not sure about the ordering tho. That last one wont work mokedaddy. I said maxi but I meant anl. Its 2/0 so I guess Im gonna need 250-300 amp (x2 for double run).

Apreciate it gentlemen. Ill look into either making one, or getting some of the VTE stuff.

Thats actually whats I was thinking... attached to a piece of wood. Make it somewhat safe, just for kicks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
