[QUOTE="req, post: 1820531, member: 555713"] the thing about fuses, is they can take twice their rated current before blowing, but they heat up to the point to where they will melt. so logically using two 25a fuses will increase the surface area of the metal and allow cooler operation. [URL="http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/item/FSA-25/245500/25_AMP_BLADE_FUSE_.html"]http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/item/FSA-25/245500/25_AMP_BLADE_FUSE_.html[/URL] theres some 25 amp fuses for pretty cheap. i buy from there often so dont worry about them scamming you or anything. you get a cool catalogue when you order too [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] i would do the 0 guage wire thing, if you could make a custom fuse block for yourself with a 0 guage input, a split with 2x 25A fuses, and then a 0awg output. hell, maybe 5 5A fuses would work better i dunno. try it out see what works the best.
