keep the cap limit... if you keep only an 80 amp fuse under the hood and have 50 farad cap the current supply is large enough to get a 5kw amp to burp for a couple seconds... im still not sure about the average 30 second playtime... averaged... i'd keep it to burps......but this is only my 2c worth

 

in the rookie class engine on, why would it be off???? this isnt db drag

if your amp pops a fuse too bad, we are concenred with the fuses primarily, not the amplifiers. if your 2400 watt pops your 150amp u loose that round.

fuses can be of any type as long as they are of automotive 12volt nature. that means no house or industrial fuses.

 

damn.. so that means that i have to fuse all 20 runs of my 1/0 gauge wire??!?! uh-oh.. that could take a while... [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

Well....I guess I'm out then! [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

 

this class is aim at ammatures, not guys who run welding cable for power and big industrial fuses.


u might want to try a higher class, rules for wich are still being developed.

 

with 20 runs of 1/0 I dont think you would qualify for a newbie class [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]
did you find a difference between say...19 not all 20? or what about 10?..why not just run big as$ buss bars

 

ya at the end they were huge buss bars going onto the battery posts, and then to each amp. LOL..

i had 10 ground, and 10 positive... so in i would only need 10 fuses.. .
well we realized that there was only a .1 voltage drop between 5, and 10 rums of each..... so i'm sure 5 runs of power, and 5 ground would have been just fine. [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

Gotcha!!

Thanks

 

you seriously still had a drop on the line with 5 runs of 1/0 ??? bad terminations?how many amps?which amps?

I gotta check all my wiring... after each winter it is recommended to check everything since all the slush n crap will help corrode and oxidize our "oxygen-free" wire that we pay soo much for...BS
