this is why you run multiple power leads, lucky you found it.

Multiple? forgive my ignorance but multiple? From where to where?

300A

and yea 0/1

Bet the fuse started comming loose awhile ago...

 

[wenn_du_weinst 10+ year member]

from front to back battery.

either your power wire is loose at the fuse block or your pulling to much power through the wire.

I am gonna vote for a loose wire....

You have to check up on your connections every once in a while...

one of the reasons I don't run fuses.

Do you have one at/ near the amp(s)?

As long as the wires are ran properly, that would not be a problem.

 

[wenn_du_weinst 10+ year member]

nope, my wires are ran in a safe location away from heat and moving parts. I don't like fuses or circuit breakers.

edit: my current amps have on board fusing.

possible both

I've seen that happen several times with those cheap, crappy ANL fuse holders.

Same here. I would look into a better fuse holder and next time once a month or so just go over your connections to ensure they are still good.

As for multiple wires, there is minimal use if he does not need that much current. 90% of the members on this board do not need to run more then one single run of 1/0. I also would not condone ditching all fusing when running wires the length of the car. That is simply asking for an issue to arise(I hope it never does to anyone).
