Only thing I think it could run from and to is Buss bars on batteries? Is there Distro. block that can accept it?

Jeebus man . I would have to run that under my car . Ain't no way in hell I could hide that chit under the carpet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif But it is more flexable than I thought it would be //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah dude, I'm lucky to have gotten out alive.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have 4/0 tin plated copper ring terminals. Thats how it will connect to the batteries. I guess I'll get pics of where I run it when I do that. I've already done a test fit and there isn't a huge hump in the carpet.

Only concern I would have is what are you going to use for a fuse holder ? Never seen a fuse holder that big before . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well, the fuses I'm looking at are the typical ANL:naughty: size fuses. I'd just use my cheapo Audiopipe bolt on each side fuseholder for the time being. It will work absolutely fine.

Derrrrr, didn't read where you said you allready had rings . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Might need to do a little trimming on the blocks , but it should work . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

As far as fusing goes . You should fuse based upon wire size . I have no earthly idea what fuse rating on that python is //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I was under the impression thats how it is supposed to be done too... which was the point of this thread... to find out what size of fuse. I was hoping there was someone with some experience with this stuff. Anyways, saddly, I got my answer from somewhere else as to what size to use.

Wire looks good and plenty flexible. Maybe a distro block in the back before the amp or trim it down as you said. Shouldn't have any current loss with that stuff!!!

So what size ? I'm sure it some ungodly huge bussbar looking fuse //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Here is a schematic of the fuse.
