Fuse size

[Boomin_tahoe 5,000+ posts]

Not even close. Ive provided the charts and you can research fusing. You can use dual 300s but each wire is only going to pull half of the current of the load.The nec list is not a guess its been tested for over 50 years. Part of my job is to test tempature of the conductors to make sure over current is avoided.

If its not in the NEC code book its bullshit.

You're an idiot. You might as well tell each and every single competitor and db drag SPL head they're doing it wrong as well.

Electricians don't belong in a car audio world. Two totally different subjects.

tymoto21 said it perfectly.....but no you had to jump in and tell him your wrong. No pal you are. Basic rule of thumb for fusing near a battery is 18". Everybody knows that.

Are you retarded? Electricians dont belong in car audio? You are the dumbest guy in this forum.

I have to take test to be certified.

I dont give a **** about what competators do. Im telling you tge correct way.

Basic rule of thumb? Or some **** someone made up? Fusing is to be as close as possible to the line (aka power sorce) yall should be thankful i share the knowledge.

You think i don't do 12 volt or 24 volt dc? You are wrong. I do alot of it. Mostly conrtols are low voltage..

You can use a 300 but there is no promise over time its not going to cause a problem. Im useing a 300 on 2/0. The breaker will trip before anything happens and tge conductors wont overheat or experience any expansion/contraction issues causing a bad conncetion over time..

You don't know **** about electricity. Even a 2 year appre tice would laught at you.

Car audio wire does not follow American wire standards

It is rated 1/0awg but is not the same wire

If you want to get technical which clearly you do get the ccm of each of the car audio brands along with strand count then you can figure it out exactly.

This is not rocket science...

It's car audio...

If you fuse at 300A (which IS generally the rating on 1/0awg ofc car audio wire) you will not damage your wire or equipment

Nah I'm pretty sure you are.....notice nobody has given you any likes lately??

All you do is argue. Always have to have the last word.

Yet no proof on your end as far as a build or anything. So in other words stfu and gtfo.

wire is sized by circular mill. not car audio standards. period I use UL approved wire. fyi circular mil on strand count is different. soild wire carries the more current per volume. hte higher strand count is larger in diameter because it carries less current. just becasue it has more strands and is bigger doesn't mean it carries more current. its for flexibility

Do you even have a job?

Btw papermaker got offered $10,000 to pass the amp test. All he has to do is drive a few hours and put a grand down. But he won't do it.

kmsl. no i didn't get offered and no i'm not driving. not to mention he never even state what kind of test he was going to do. i don't have to drive 1200 miles to do what I've done for 15 years.

i find it ******* hilarious that these *** clowns who claim that they all sound the same have high dollar amps..

All of this really helped me decide what size fuses to go with

Bro if you got copper 0 gauge 250 or 300 amp will work. You fuse for the wire and 0 gauge in short runs under 10 ft I think is 300 amp. I have three runs of 0 gauge and I fused mine at 250 amps on my HD15000 at 2 ohms with no problems. I have melted down a 7k amp until it caught fire and the 300amp fuses didnt blow but it takes a lot to pop one of those fuses and they are slow to pop. The fuses as Herz mafia said protect your car in the event your in an accident and cable gets shorted or something not the amp. If you feel lucky and think you will never be in an accident dont run any? I am not that lucky so I will run some in mine always. Also seen a couple cars burned completely to the ground that had no fusing. Insurance dont cover that sheet ! And these guys will split hairs and bicker like old ladies all night lol !

I would love to see that arguement. Esp people that did the work themselves. Put this fawker to shame.

The only FACTS here are the ones that aren't replied by you.

Claims to be an electrician....100k+ more/yr. which I fail to see., Lives in an apartment, no audio to show for, no builds to date, etc. I don't believe it for one second.
