For real though, if you dont fuse yoru shit your car will eventually catch on fire. Better safe than sorry. It only costs 20 bucks at most to fuse your shit and that will stop your wire from catching yoru entire car on fire in case something or someone pinches it or ground it or if your battery/alt ****s up and overloads the wire.

Either way... dont listen to me and end up like this

how do you fuse an amp that pulls over 1600amps of current, where and who makes a fuse for that, i will actually need 2 800 amp fuses just for the sd16k a fuse to the back battery only, the charging cable is the only one i would even put in if i did. because my back batteries are right next to the amplifiers and that run of wire will not have any fuses so the amps can get full current and i dont have to worry about popping a fuse when i compete, ive done the whole fuse in and replace it with a solid chunk of copper for the show. but is there even an 800amp fuse for car audio?

this was my only experience of getting t-boned and having fire associated with it.

Saw an impala like that under the I-25 bridge. Dude didn't fuse his batteries for the hydraulic pumps. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Needless to say, he didn't find it as amusing as I did. Was a perfect moment when I should have been wearing my "here's your sign" shirt.

Dont run regular wire to it. Copper barstock directly off your battery. distance to the amp has to be as minimal as possible.

Boooo! I hate Jeff Foxworthy, and the "Here's Your Sign" bullshiit. Aside from that, this thread is horrible as well, I can't believe this guy actually competes....

i probably wont drive my van as much when i redo it over the winter.

i still have my crx that'l have 4 12s in it on a goliath.fuse from the front battery to the back and thats it.

fusing is not for the amp, you fuse the wire @ the max safe amperage the wire can handle.
