Quick fuse question

[swift 501]

How many in-line fuse holders do I need?

1/0 from front to a

Stinger T splitter (http://www.woofersetc.com/p8033/SPD512--Stinger-1-0-Gauge-Tee-Distribution-Block.htm)

and 1/0 going to SAZ-1500, and 4ga going to a Alpine PDX 4.150.

I am going to order a Stinger 150 to go between the SAZ amp and the T

and a 60amp to go between the Alpine amp and the T

Do I also need a 250 amp inline up front under hood or is that overkill?

Thanks

TTT

Should I just use a single 200 or 250 under the hood by the battery and call it a day, will this be ok considering one is a 1500 V.2 without external fuses??

OK, thanks, based on that I do need to run 3 fuses. One at each amp and one main at the batt. Because I havent seen a junction fuse box that has 1/0 outs.

make your own.. that's what i do. Fuse blocks are very easy to make.

If you have a bandsaw, drill and tap set, we can talk.

And some brass or aluminum bar stock.

[shizzzon 461]

i prefer aluminum, copper oxidizes too quick and cost more and even more to protect it from oxidizing.

Aluminum doesn't really require protection since it can last for years before signs of oxidation appear.

I agree aluminum ftw. The only way to use copper is if it's polished and then protect it from oxidization.

Found this...... Looks perfect for what I want to do. For 12 bucks looks like a deal
