Fuse keeps blowing? underhood?

Question

i got a zx 1000.1 kicker amp and 2 15" l7 kickers =) well i got the cheap power wire kit. I have it all hooked up and runs very very nice. Well i keep blewing the fuse under the hood first i blew the 100 fuse that came with it bought a spear kit and put another 100 blow it now i have a 60 in it and just don't turn it up atm.I have another 100 and another 60 once i add my rockford fosgate capacitor will it help? or will i need to buy biger fuses.

Answer 1

you need to buy a capacitor 1.0 farad or so then ull stop blowing them

Answer 2

You should be running at least a 4 gauge wire to operate your system.  A cap won't necessarily solve your problems.  (I've  blown my 150 amp circuit breaker using 0 gauge wire and a large cap)  You can buy fuses up to 300 amp.  For your application, I would try a larger fuse (150 - 200 amp) that should work for the time being until you upgade your wires.  If you use small gauage wires and a large fuse, you run the risk of burning your wire before the fuse blowes.

Good luck, hope it works out for you..

Answer 3

bigger fuses and wire..u need at least 4 guage wire and at least a 80 amp fuse

Answer 4

One thing you need to do is go buy a new kit cheap ones dont work with what your running also they have what they call circuit breakers for amp kits and you can find them at like autozone and advance i used to run two twelve inch l7s and i did that and now it runs good
