Popping 100 A fuses like candy

[SwaveY]

so i guess when you have a 100 amp fuse in your line it doesnt much matter in the cold? even when you immediately turn your stereo off when you turn the car on? Might as well forget this topic since i wont be needing any of this anymore.

see wouldnt $40 worth of wire been a lot better than burning up your amp?

Blinking? shit i can ride my high beams now and if i crank the bass it goes pitch dark. Your saying i need atleast a 167 amp alt then? (if i run 0 guage im talking... big 3, back to the amp, with the fuse in it...to dist block) I dont need another battery do i? If i got one would it solve the blinking? Or is there another cure?
Thanks for all of the help... sorry if im overquestioning. I just love to learn before i **** up my good stuff //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

EDIT: if i got a 200 amp alt is it overkill? Is it possible to be overkill? (with a alt made for my car...not some 22v shit)

wait i didnt say that. I said you need atleast 167amps (200amp fuse) fused on the cable from the battery to the amp. As for blinking, try the big3 upgrade and see how that goes. You may find even after that you might want to consider running a 2nd batter just for your amp. You may not have to but you might. Im runing about 1700watts and decided I needed a 2nd battery in the trunk to power my amps.

200amp alt is not overkill but unless you can afford it not realistic right now. try the big 3 and see how that goes and move from there. If you were to get a 2nd battery or HO ALT you would need the big3 anyways.
