Knuconceptz Wires / Fuses?

[LinxuS 10+ year member]

Well I'm getting ready to order about $130 worth of electrical accessories for my truck, and was wondering about a few things.

Was wanted to run the Kolossus Kable 1/0 Blue Power Wire, and using about 10 feet of it from the battery to the distro block. Just curious what size the ANL fuse should be, the one near the battery. Would 300A be too high?

Next is on the actual distro block.

Was wanting to get this: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KNF-23

What should the 3 fuse sizes be? 1/0 Guage going in, Kolossus Kable 4 Gauge Blue Power Wire going to my amplifier, and I was thinking 0 or 1/0 Guage to the sub amplifier. Would once again be the Kolossus cable. How much A can these wires take?

Kolossus Kable 1/0 Blue Power Wire 15ft $44.85

Krystal Kable 2 Channel 4M Twisted Pair RCA Cable $16.99

KonFUSED 3 Way Distribution System (150A,150A,150A) $19.99

Negative Battery Terminal $12.00

Positive Battery Terminal $12.00

300A is fine for 1/0. I have the 1/0 in (2) 4awg or 8awg out distro block. What amp do you have that needs 1/0 inputs ?

None as of yet, but might as well do over kill rather than under kill. Truthfully though, the amp won't be running more than 1200 RMS, Class D. I'm sure even 2 gauge would be over kill.

Hrm, should probably get some more 1/0 for the big three too I suppose.

Well, you should fuse for the size wire you are running. I'm using 4ga output on my 300A 1/0 cable, so I just did 150A on each.

Agreed. The point of the fuse is prevent the wire from carrying too much current and burning. There is a stick up top about fusing and wire sizes. check it out.

I was just curious how much A these wires specifically can carry before they start lighting my truck on fire. I'll probably order a 150A on the 4 gauge, and maybe a 200A on the 2 gauge wire going to my future sub amp.

I have 250 on my 2 gauge. You'd be okay with a 300A fuse on the 1/0 and 150-200 on the 4 gauge

what is the added amps on the fuses on all amps running off that cable? as long as it is larger than that your ok //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
