250 amp fuse with 4g wiring..I'm not any expert but not many stock alts will put out anything close to 250amps, maybe for safety you should put that fuse down a few amps.. like 150 range?
You gotta remember that as soon as you're dealing with 2 channels, you're actually drawing twice the amperage from the battery. With a 100A fuse, it would melt anytime I try to pump it. </font>[/QUOTE]That's a joke...right? hope so! anyway welcome aboard, you'll fit right in.

Most car alts dont produce anymore than like 110-120 amps, so minus your lights, radio, clock, A/C, heater, and all that other crap and you've got like 80-90 amps, you will never draw over 150 out of a stock car alt.


Edit: the part about your amps drawing more current depending on the channels is not true.. If so my PG 4-channel would draw 120ampsx4 = 480AMPs... You'd be hard pressed to find a fuse that big
