(basing it on the fact he said Fuse, and the amp has 3 fuses i think?) If its the fuse under the hood, then prolly too small of power wire. What guage do you have and how many feet?
cam Gold Member Username: •cam• BC Canada Post Number: 1434 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Sunday, December 30, 2007 - 20:04 GMT Explain why too light of a power wire would cause a fuse to blow, please.
cam Gold Member Username: •cam• BC Canada Post Number: 1436 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Sunday, December 30, 2007 - 21:19 GMT Bump. I'm very interested to learn here, Donnie. Don't let me down.
SomeDonnieDude Silver Member Username: Somedonniedude Illinois United States Post Number: 631 Registered: May-07	Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 00:29 GMT If you have too small of a wire, wont that be less efficient, and cause you to pull more current throughout the wire than needed? Therefore overloading the fuse and blowing it if thats the case. He also might have too small of a fuse under the hood, not disagreeing with you, i'm just stating another possible issue.
cam Gold Member Username: •cam• BC Canada Post Number: 1443 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 00:43 GMT Nah, it won't draw more current. It can only carry less. He very well may have too small of a fuse lol. We need an answer to help, however. Where is this dude?
SomeDonnieDude Silver Member Username: Somedonniedude Illinois United States Post Number: 633 Registered: May-07	Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 00:52 GMT Can amperage be lost in heat, or a hot wire? I found this calculator once and was playing with it, and I noticed everytime I added more feet of wire on, or dropped the ga of wiring, the amperage pull was increased.
SomeDonnieDude Silver Member Username: Somedonniedude Illinois United States Post Number: 634 Registered: May-07	Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 00:54 GMT Maybe im confusing amperage and voltage.
cam Gold Member Username: •cam• BC Canada Post Number: 1444 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 01:02 GMT Voltage is the energy possessed by electrons, amperage is the speed the electrons travel. Hmm. Got a link to the calculator?
SomeDonnieDude Silver Member Username: Somedonniedude Illinois United States Post Number: 636 Registered: May-07	Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 01:53 GMT I've been trying to find it, but no luck. I thought it was on bcae1.com
cam Gold Member Username: •cam• BC Canada Post Number: 1448 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 02:21 GMT I thought I might have seen one there, as well. Thanks anyway.

SomeDonnieDude Silver Member Username: Somedonniedude Illinois United States Post Number: 637 Registered: May-07	Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 16:20 GMT How many feet power/ground?
M.S. Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18 Northwest PA Post Number: 5070 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 17:39 GMT Ya need a bigger fuse...... 4 gauge wire can have a max fuse size of 125 amps. Get a fuse as close to that as possible but not larger.
cam Gold Member Username: •cam• BC Canada Post Number: 1449 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 19:02 GMT Negative to positive! Next question.
cam Gold Member Username: •cam• BC Canada Post Number: 1453 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 19:43 GMT Yeah, those NINe.1s have a max current draw of 130A.
