i want to get a fuse distribution block the one's at future shop and best buy are o.k
but on the internet it says good for 5-60 amp agu fuses but i need to put in an 80 amp fuse and a 60 amp should i look for one that has a better fuse rating or what should i do ???
one amp is 2 30A and the other is 2 40A

imported_loudsubz

they make 80 amp AGU fuses

if you can't find any, go online...or better yet get a MAXI holder and MAXi fuse.

Problme with AGU fuses is alot of them are made of poor quality, and the solder in the end caps heats up, and the fuse melts, and could potentially start a fire. They do make good AGU fuses but alot of stores don't carry them.

i know that they make 80 amp fuses but can i put a 80 amp in a fuse holder like the stinger ones

imported_loudsubz

your question is very unclear

if your asking if you can put an 80 amp agu fuse right after the battery INLINE then yes you could, but most likely when you turn it up its going to pop.

you need to make sure your wiring is suffecient, if your running 80 + 60 amps at full tilt your gonna need 2 awg and 140 min ANL

then drop those fuses in the AGU dist block in the rear by the amps

HEADTRNR

o.k lets start over
right now i have 4 AWG... i will be getting a 150A ANL for the front by the battery
i want a fuse block to hook up a 2 30A amplifier (mids and highs)
and the 2 40A amplifier for the subs
can i use the 60 amp agu and 80 amp agu for the fuse block

imported_loudsubz

yes

you don't have to have them the same size if thats what your asking? 2 X 60 amp etc.

or if your asking if you can run a single fuse instead of double, yes, they just use ATC fuses in the amps because there smaller.

HEADTRNR

but the rating on the fuse holder is 5-60 amp can i throw in 80 amp fuse will it make a difference

imported_loudsubz

throwing in an 80 amp should be fine, you will likely never even draw that much current.

HEADTRNR

cool do u know where i can buy a 4 awg in and 4 awg out because best buy and future shop only carry 4 in 8 out besides audio stores and also the anl fuse holder

imported_loudsubz

a specialty shop

or one o fmy favs

darvex.com

HEADTRNR

cool site where are they located states or can

imported_loudsubz

states

check local

give selective a PM, lockdowm, or audio heaven see what prices they have

you might have to step up to a MAXI fuse holder with 2 awg input and 2 4 awg out (you can still put the 4 awg on the 2 awg input)

i havnt seen to many 4 awg in dist blocks with 4 awg out as well.

HEADTRNR

is it o.k to go from 4 in to 8 out to the amps

lordm

there are
audio pipe has them as well
audio pipe maxi holder 4 awg in and out FMPD-53448
thats the model number this

HEADTRNR

is it o.k to go from 4 awg to 8 awg for the amps that i'm running

lordm

yes but i would not recomend it

Whiplash

ya, i'd go 4 in 4 out

imported_loudsubz

well P=VI

the voltage drop on an 8awg wire is more significant on longer lengths, if you keep the length to about 1ft max from dist block to the amp, an 8awg is more than acceptable so yes you can run it no problem.

HEADTRNR

great thanks guys it's only going from the back of the amp rack to the front of the rack prob less then 1 ft

imported_loudsubz

good, you will be fine

good luck
