...at really high volumes, at least 80%+. Fuse is rated for 80 amps (highest one i could find)
any ideas why?
is it blowing once you put it in?
or when your turning it up?
because if its blowing right after you put it in there is a short to ground
What kind of amps are you running? Check grounds and the main power wire for shorts (broken insulation etc.)
You'd be suprised what some bigger, class D amps pull. My breaker is rated at 150A...

I NEVER blew an 60 amp fuse with my amp at full tilt. But if the OP is using some inefficient amps (Hifonics etc etc) its possible to do it on 4 gauge wire but usually if a fuse is blowing its not from the amperage pull of the amp. Usually its from an outside source like a break in the wire or a poor ground.
is there a way how i can test that with multimeter? like check resitstance or smth?
Amperage draw is a tricky one to test. Whats your main power wire size?
What amps? Ill have to look up their efficiency and power rating to judge amp draw.
You really should use a bigger fuse than 80 amp if you needed 2 gauge. I think its rated up to like 150 or 175 amps IIRC.

Way too small of a fuse. I dont even have to look that up. Hahaha. Youll need to get an ANL fuse holder and something like a 150 amp fuse.
i am also adding rockford fosgate t600-4 with additional deep cycle battery and looking at an alt swap to power my 2 pairs of C5s

i want to do the Big 3 as well but the problem is that the batteries are in my trunk and it'd be a b*tch to run the wires there.. anyway to make this job easier??
also when connecting two batteries (in parallel) how do i go about hooking up the wires, i mean there's going to be 3 different sets of power/ground cables connected to a single battery (alt/another bat/amp) so how do i connect them together?
