Yea 135 is great. I wouldn't mind doing all out SQ in my truck, but I know I'll need to mod my doors and what not to create a good front stage.

Welp, I heard from Pate, and he is finishing up on editing the pictures of the build, but I know you want to see them, so here are the finished pics for you to enjoy.

meaning you fused the b+ and the accessory power wire?

wouldn't the accessory be fused by the car already?

or did you fuse the ground?

In competition, for safety concerns, the head unit must be fused separately from the car. This way we set it up that if the first fuse blows, there is a backup as well.

That seems like its redundant and useless and possibly dangerous. If the first fuse blows most likely from a short you will continue to allow current through the second fuse until it blows. Or you just doubled the current capacity of that fuse block which maybe higher than you wire creating a fire hazard? You guys are smart guys so obviously im missing something here lol.

Falken just pointed out that you are fusing accessory and battery + that makes more sense lol.

battery is fused at the battery. On the battery, I will take a picture and upload that one too. I have a brass bus bar set up on the battery that lends to the fusing of the system.

I may be off on the dual HU fuses, but it was my understanding that at least one of them is for the headunit. Every component in a Competition SQ car that receives current from the charging source must be fused. Therefore we fused the headunit.

The other may be for accessory. I am not sure though. I will ask Chris and get back to you.
