Meca S1 Question

[loud1988honda 10+ year member]

What is the smallest fuse I can run that will put me in Meca Street 1. Im running a hifonics 1500w and 2 L7 10's in a CRX. Also how are they getting there answers on their page with that forumla.

(amperage of in-line fuse x 10) + woofer cone surface area= pressure class #

example from the site: 50amp fuse + 2 10's =700???????????

Can someone please explain how they came up with this answer?

Thanks

S1/SR1 0-500

ouch 30a of fusing for an amp that has two 60 amp fuses.

you can get it to last a few seconds more than you'd expect on that fuse, depending on the fusing methodology you choose. If anyone is interested in this, i'll go furthor into how that works.

use maxi fuses... audiobahn and audiopipe seem to have the best fuses

find the 36v ones... it will say on the back of the package

I wouldn't mind knowing, but i don't want to waste your time because i don't plan on competition any time soon.

look at my post... its basically what hes saying....

another thing that u can do is use alot of smaller fuses because each fuse has a higher tolerance than its rated amount

multiple fuses have a combination of multiple tolerances therefore it will allow more current

2 30s will destrol 1 60 and 3 20s will destrol the 2 30s ( talkin about amperage of fuses )

So ANL fuses arent good?

they dont make anl fuses that low....

no, they pop a lot quicker and easier than MAXI ones.

S1 is the class I run.

Yay for a ridiculously small amount of fusing!!!
