System Install Question

[bgowdy 5,000+ posts]

This may be a noob question. If so sorry i didnt know. I have a new true 1ga kit im about to install. I had 4 gauge before ran with a 150a anl. the new kit i just got also came with a 150a anl. Can 2 150 anls be put on the same power wire to make 300a fusing or does it not work that way?

amperage ratings on fuses are just that bro... the max amount of amperage.... adding 2 together, does not double their capability

How many amps are you expecting to draw?

lol... like i told you on FB, their not bad, but better can be had for around the same/maybe a lil bit more bro... i thought you were trying to decide between the rubi and crescendo?

the cresendo is out my price range for. the rubis aint bad priced but the bb24 i found for like 260 shipped.

i mean i may still get it. idk exactly what ima do. i cant make up my mind really. i want is the more efficent amp between the BB & Rubis. Im doin the wire upgrade to help with my voltage and stuff.

If you stack them in parallel it is 300 amps. Same way that an amp has multipul fuses in parallel. It would be getto rigginh it though. Just by a 300 amp if thats the value that you need.

i just thought the bigger the better. but i was looking for what the amp asks for and couldnt find it. """Mast240 do you know or does anyone else know?

never mind i found it. it has a built in 250a, i think thats what it said so ill match it with another 250 on the powerwire

 

[mast240 10+ year member]

dam... i was goin to say, i have some extra 200 anl's.. but if it calls for a 250, they wont work

i would really be running at least1/0 over 120a, because, i would tell you to fuse for wire rating, but the amp is fused twice that...
