I am running that into a 300W inverter (Xantrex Xpower 400plus)
Also running is a 100 watt pioneer amp which has a 20 amp fuse in it.
Also DSSC startup/shutdown in the middle
Amp and inverter are running into distribution block which has two 30 amp fuses in it.
The question is, what size fuse should I put under the hood? 60 amp? The main power cable is 6 gauge and I think its max at 10 feet is 80 amps. Should I get a 60 amp inline fuse, or a 80 amp.? Should I lose the 30 amp fuses in the distro, is this too much fusing?
Im going to pick a inline for under the hood tommorow so any comments asap would be awesome!
I would definately not go with a 6ga power cable. Minimum would be 8ga. And put a 60a fuse under the hood and you will be fine.
