Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 7705 Registered: Jul-06 | Haha I say that b/c the consequences of not using the proper fuses can be disastrous. If an unfused wire shorts to ground, it will burn. And with a heavy gauge wire like 4 or 0 gauge it can likely start a fire in the car. More on fuses http://www.bcae1.com/fuses.htm |

Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 465 Registered: Jun-07 | ya it is 0 guage. what is the 6+6+6+333 thing? i am getting an other battery also. they will be right next to each other so i am guessing there is no reason to have fuses between something like a foot apart? |
