How is creating a safe point that will stop the flow of electricity in the case of a serious problem worse than no protection?

why is the monster cable 1/0 bigger than the copperfield exCELENE 2/0 AND almost as big as the rockbestos suprenant 4/0

VERY thick jacket! wire is the same size as teh Kicker 1/0 and smaller than the 2/0 but it just has a REALLY thick jacket over it!!! REALLY thick... I got a pic on a local forum... Monster 1/0 on top... 4/0 on bottom

i dont supose you would take a pic of all the 0 gauge wire together to show the thickness of the wire. I always wonder which is more cable and which is more jacket ya know.

it seems once you get you get up to a higher anl fuse its doesnt matter. last year i had a 300amp fuse in each runn of 4/0 one of them grounded out and didnt pop fuse just welded to fender so if your not pulling more amps from short than what fuse is rated at your not going to pop fuse. so i jsut have solid wire now and a fire extinguisher up front and in back. And full coverage insurance thnx "auto owners ins.".

ummm man i dont know. I am not calling you a bullshiTer or wanting to start shiT, but I would proly fuse anyways. Cheap insurance, peace of mind, or whatever ya wanna call it.

but two fire extinguishers work too. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

then perhaps you should run a 250amp fuse

Can you measure the diameter of the 4/0 wire not including the jacket?

 

[BamBamVan 10+ year member]

actualy i think it was one 250 amp fuse actualy the more that i think about it. But now i jsut have two batts in the back and jsut all direct so im not using any fuses. b/c the amps i have now are rated at needed 2 250 amp fuses.

IIRC it was a bit over .53" just the copper
