Big 3 question

[sqcomp]

You'll be fine with the CCA. You've already purchased it and it will work.

What I did for my big 3 was to go to the owner of the shop and ask if I could root through his scrap wire bin. I found some good stuff in there. With all the wire, techflex, terminals and heat shrink...it only cost me $13 to make it all myself.

On the thought of the fusing, one could make a point to say you'd need TWO fuses. One after the alty positive and one at the battery positive. At some point that wire is going to be live. This is another reason why I simply secured my wire along the OEM routing. If it wants to come undone...it'll be in a serious, if not fatal, wreck. At that point I have other things I need to worry about as any fusing will have been completely obliterated.

that amp kit i have contains a 50 amp fuse, im a bit sketchy as to why it only has a 50 amp fuse if its rated for "1000 watts" , with my 4 channel im looking at 90 amps ( 30A from mono amp, 60A from 4chan amp), i can easily swap out the 50 amp fuse for a 100 amp?, instead of running 0 gauge, can i run 4 gauge? (knukonceptz). ( smaller and easier to route behind the engine), if thats the case then all i need is a few more feet of 4 gauge and a distribution bock in the trunk..)



the engine heat doesnt affect the exterior coating?

edit: was doing some research for the past few hours ,reading up on gauge sizes and amperage capabilities.

from what i understand i can easily swap out the 50amp fuse near my battery and put in a 100 amp ANL fuse, and then run new Knu.K 4 gauge for my big 3, and throw in a fused distribution block with 1 4 gauge in and 2 4 gauge out for my amps( with matching fuse ratings for each amp), im pretty sure i understand this now right? :|
