[QUOTE="missinglink, post: 4409695, member: 590831"] I have 2 Ohio alts. I will agree NEVER put a fuse between the alts and battery. Your alternator needs to read a draw if the fuse goes your alternator will compensate. I have 2 1/0 gauge from one and a single off the other. 1/0 wont heat up as much as the 4gauge if your having alot of draw. Much over 1,000 watts I would go with the 1/0. Granted your alt will only put out so much power. (this is why 4 gauge is enough) If you are running 1/0 to your amps its wise to run 1/0 from the source. MLA [/QUOTE]
