like the title im confused.

i have a batcap 400 and a dei d2400 amp, im using 0ga from battery to batcap and 4ga from batcap to amp..

ok what type and size of fuse/circuitbreaker should i use off the battery??

and i read somewhere on http://www.bcae1.com i think thats it.. that you shouldnt use a inline fuse holder because its enclosed on both end.

so i was just wondering if its okay to use the inline fuse holder and if it is what type and size fuse i should i buy, because i already ordered an inline fuse holder from knukonceptz.. and if i shouldnt use that inline fuse holder which type of fusebreaker should i get. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

and if your wondering, im running a 150amp circuit breaker off the batcap. i read on http://www.bcae1.com, that circuit breakers are bad.. so should i change it to a fusebreaker too??

300A fuse. You fuse to protect the wire. Since the current carrying capacity of 1/0 wire is 350A, use a fuse slightly less. You will only beable to find ANL fuses in that size, and get the fuseholder & fuse from knu... I did, and its nice. Circuit breakers are bad (if they are exposed to the elements). The contacts can corrode and then the breaker is not operating like it should.

i called all the shops in my area, and the largest size they have is 200amps.. is that enough??

http://www.knukonceptz.com, 200A is fine, but how much do they want for it? I know everywhere around here wants $20 for a ANL 100A fuse.

it was $7.. knukonceptz is $5.99.

thanks man. i finally get to complete my system
