Does anyone know the internal fuse rating for that amp? Im trying to calculate how much alt and batts i'll need to run four 3500's. Thanks

OP, you need to upgrade your alternator (200+) .... Batteries... Biggest under the hood AGM type .... Look in DieHard Platinum Auto/Marine batteries .... For the rear "at least" a group 31 for safe measures....

Fuse for wiring... 200 or bigger

They don't have internal fuses.

You need to make roughly 20KW to feed four of those amps at full tilt.

That would be about 1500 amps maximum draw on a 12V system.

So you need the battery capacity and a way to charge them. This will be expensive....

You need 6,000 AA batteries. take 10 in series = 15.0v and parallel then in sets of 10.

Bad thing is this is a one time battery bank, play it while it lasts!

Cool thanks for the info, I already have the Big 3 done, Mechman 320 w/ adj regulator, D3400 under the hood and two D3100's in the back for my already two 3500's and my voltage drop isnt that bad.

Well figure double what you already have then...

They don't have internal fuses but the external fuse rating for each bc3500 is a 300 amp fuse.

[Shogen 325]

at least double.... maybe 2.5x

I have 4 of the bc3500's in my car. I. have 400a fuses on each one.

Well since this got bumped. I'm running two @1ohm strapped. I've got 300a or 350a fuses. No issues.

But I will suggest more batts if you plan on demoing a lot. I'm running a 230amp alt, spp1200 up front, three D3100's and one NSB130ft. I still see mid 11s. These amps can pull up to 400 amps each wired low.

300 amps
