[QUOTE="Rashaddd, post: 4837530, member: 592162"] I'm assuming you mean 4 gauge to your 100.2? 4/0 is 3 sizes UP from 1/0, 4 gauge is 3 sizes down from it. 1/0 = 0 gauge. 4/0 = 0000 gauge. You don't need inline fuses for the amps if they already have fuses built in, you just need to fuse the main power wire coming off your battery, for anywhere between the total max current draw and the max capacity of the wire. 1/0 can take up to around 300A, but you're only running maybe 150 max realistically, so fuse either 150 or 200, or you COULD fuse 250 or 300, but you gain a little added protection by fusing lower [/QUOTE]
