Can I increase the 100A fuse to 150A by simply changing it? or will the cable not be able to withstand more amperage?

4 AWG wire can actually handle 150 amps up to13 feet. But i personally wouldnt use 4 AWG for more than 10 feet of power cable. So depending on how long your power cable is you should be fine. Crutchfield has a great wire size chart on their site

Yes you can if you cannot find the 150 fuse yiu just need replace the holder.. Only do this if the amps need it, if your fuse is too strong it won't blow on a short and you may damage the amps even your car fuse box.Also I have 1200 class D fosgate amp, 2000 watt Lazar for highs, 250 watt for tweeters. All three running off this wiring kit never had any issue or blew fuse

Ideally, you should use a 200amp fuse if I understand your question correctly. Wiki American wire gauge for more info.. Hope this helps.

I would suggest something mid range like 15 amps but definitely nothing higher than what was on the unit. The reason you blew the fuse was you put to high a load on it. By putting a higher rated fuse, your risking a fire.

I agree with other responses this fuse assembly is designed for low voltage automobile and marine circuits. I would not attempt to use it in any 120VAC application

i don't you could use it with your set up, you would probably need a higher amperage version to suit.

You should be able to. This cable has a 10A rating, and as far as I know that means it is capable of safely pushing up to 10A through it. It is possible that I have incorrect information but hey, I've had the cable for about a year now and my house hasn't burned down so at least there's that.

You could also get a 12V relay (http://www.amazon.com/Relay-Harness-Bosch-Style-40AMP-HRNS/dp/B005HFYE1O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1424284156&sr;=8-1&keywords;=12V+relay) to increase the total amperage. You would use switch to flip the relay on and off.

I do not know amps fuse is rated for, but have had the product for several months and use it regularly; and have had absolutely no problems with the unit (fuses or otherwise).

You will need fuse for every connection. If your inverter size is 1000W, you have to consider the current draw from the battery is 1000/12=83Amp. When you size the fuse, typically you need to times 1.2, so a fuse size 100Amp is safe.

It requires two 50 ampere feeds which might cause overcurrent on a 125 ampre service with multiple loads on as well. Probably need to try the smaller versions.

This kit includes a 80A fuse. The cable included with the amp kit has a max rating of 100A. Your amplifier has the capability to draw a max of 90A, the likelihood that your amp will ever draw that amount unless using a sweep (test tones for SPL test etc) is slim. Would this kit work for your application, yes. You are however at the very limits of this product and going to our Kolossus 4 gauge kit which is rated at 120A would be a better choice.

I installed the heater in my old 1976 beettle and it Works great. I don´t think that is necessary to put a new higher amps fuse. Plinio

yes you can. i just added an inline fuse. checkunit amperage to choose fuse size.

Mine has a 15 amp fuse, I have run this temporarily overloaded and shorted resulting in a blown fuse, with it surviving. I did however have one unit fail, after running it overloaded for too long, from excessive heat.

Sorry I never changed fuses in this meter. But I' will look & if I find out I'll let you know. Bill

The wiring is unusually high gauge. I wouldn't run it above 15A which is more than enough for almost ALL 12V plug in items.

If you don't know enough about EE, you really should not mess with the wires. You can increase amps by decreasing voltage, but I think you are looking for something else. You will put more strain on the battery, alternator and possibly computer circuits if you are drawing too much current. If the wires you are using are not supplying enough power, connect directly to the battery and use appropriate gauge wire. Good luck
