[QUOTE="LiveAudio911, post: 7102967, member: 622999"] That is very insightful information... I'm running 4Ga JL power (Blue) wire about 5 ft long, the fuse holder I have had about 3 years now.. originally holder came with a 140 fuse.. ( I blew that when ever a wire came loose in my box and touched the basket.. During my initial noob triage, I replaced the original wire with the JL wire, ROFL, Sent my amp back and they sent me the amp I have now (score) Found the wire in the box came loose and touched the mag.. which actually caused the fuse to pop.. I could not find locally a 140 fuse so I just threw an 80 in there.. and forgot about it.. been working ever since.. When I migrated the system to my truck.. I shortened the wire to about 5 ft or so.. I only have a slight drop of power.. mainly at night when lights are on.. just not as bad as my old car being my truck has a bigger battery.. I just wanted to get a bigger bat to hold more power and nub tells me not to change the bat just put a larger fuse in.. hince why I am having this open question.. I'm just gonna post my entire setup for consideration.. Alt- Stock 120 amp ( I think) Bat- Stock Acid/Lead 850 Cca 1020Ca (rechecked) Big 3 done-Overboard 1Ga Alt~Fuse 1Ga Fuse~bat 1Ga Block to Frame 1Ga Block to bat 1Ga Bat - to frame 1Ga + Bat to dist. 4Ga JL power running 5 ft ish to amp 4Ga Power wire running to Multi-amp Ground at amp- 1Ga frame to Dist. block 4Ga From Dist block to amp 1 4 Ga from dist block to amp 2 AMP:JBL 1400.1 wired @ 4 ohm (1200rms) I mainly just wanted to upgrade the bat to a HC2000 figured it would give me enough storage to make up for what little bit I lack in power. and this came up.. If i do need a bigger fuse I'm going to swap out the dist. block under the hood with ANL fuse holder instead of the blade type I currently have. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
