Second Battery

That's nothing like the spark you'll get if you touch positive to negative. That's what we're talking about. That's like a static spark in comparison //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

But that had already been covered. So I just thought I would throw out a random .02 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

i'll just use 250a fuses on all of them, they're all the same price from where I get them

for instance.. in my system

my amp draw's 240 a

i have a 300a fuse on my alt + to my batt+

then a 300a fuse on my under hood batt run too my sec batt. then 300a fuse before the batt

then a 250a fuse from batt+ to amp +

Go disconnect your negative terminal in the dark. Than hook it back up. It will spark.

Meh.....A few electrons will arc over when they're close. Nothing to worry about, though. Definately not like a + to - short on a big battery.

I would do 300a on the + wire, but the store only has 100-250a fuses, I can always change them later on though

250 is more than adequate.

alright, so now 2 250a fuses on the + run to back batt, then 200a fuse from back batt to amp, sounds good.

also, knukonceptz just shipped out my wire today

weird thing is, 50ft of 1/0 is only 11 pounds?

Sounds like a kick *** plan

If you don't mind me asking, how much did a spool of knu cost you? PM me if need be.

i kinda do... nothing lower then 12.5

usually allways at 14.5

Spools are 150. or at least they used to be.

no need to hide it, for 50ft it was 87.50 (i think) then + shipping.

but I bought 25ft silver and 25ft blue

You mean $187.50? Because $87.50 for 50 ft of 1/0 would be pretty rediculous.

 

[jbizzle 5,000+ posts]

no I said $87.50
