The Truth About Fuse Performance: How Much Power Are You Losing?

- In this video we compare the amount of DC resistance measured in various fuses and compare the impact your choice of fuse has.
For by far the best performance, check out our lineup of fuses and accessories here: glowevoltage.c...
Every time you drop a new video I have to go outside and double check my whole build. First it was the video about running all the wires to a main distroblock, batteries in parallel, etc.. Now this got me tearing apart my fuse holder checking resistance. 😂😂 Thank you for your helpful videos.
I routinely have to do the same after I test something new.. It never ends up being as straight forward as I expect when I begin.
Buddy 😂❤ I feel you I truly do 😂❤ the bright side for me is..that I just in the process of building my setup 😂❤ so my situation is better 😂😂 but dam I feel you there 😂🤜
You sold me, just ordered some of your fiberglass ones. Thanks for the awesome detailed explanation.
Please let us know if you see noticeable gains @ the amplifier after swapping them out?? What amplifier are you using/what size fuses?? The higher the current the larger and more prominent the gains should be, for sure.
@@GloweIndustries I actually bought some skar 300amp previously that I will be installing temporarily until yours arrive since I have been dying to put this in my car. Will be running a taramps t12000 chipeo. I will report back once I get the info for ya! Thanks again!
Good to see your videos back. I really enjoy learning about this type of car audio/power content. Thank you for your service to the people!
I've always bought the cheapest decent looking fuse Amazon had. never put much thought into it. Thank you for opening my eyes
I used to be on the same boat. Thought a fuse was a fuse and called it a day..
It’s always the things you least expect chipping away at overall output. 💯
Glad I have all SHCA. I was hoping to see test on a SMD
Shca? What is this?

Credit where it’s due. They’re the only fuses that we managed to test in the same ballpark.
Their wire also tests among the best.
Interesting, how such a small detail in a build can have such a significant impact, thankfully I’ve always used SHCA ceramic (I’ve not bought fuses since you guys dropped them) but I’ll let you guess what I’ll be using going forward! Appreciate the knowledge!!! I have switched to your lugs already great value!!!
Cant wait to see the next one! I think this be a big problem in my build having a few cheep "high amp fuses
It can really hurt.. It's surprising.
This is a crazy good video!!!
Thank you! I was honestly surprised.
Great video
Thanks! I was surprised by the results.
Im running stock alt and series 1 with jp23 and two 4chs and im getting crazy voltage drop. Ill chnage the fuses to you guys one. But also i have a uni body car where would be the best place to run a ground cause rn i have them on bolt in the trunk.
Can you reach out to our fb page? Thats far from expected behavior and want to get it figured out. If it turns out to be something with the battery you’re definitely covered under warranty.
Also, before we go any further down the rabbit hole.. I’ve come to learn from many, many hours of troubleshooting that JP knobs are not to be trusted!! Is that where you’re seeing voltage drop?
If so, can you use a dmm at the terminals of the battery? This has been the biggest takeaway in multiple situations eerily similar to what you described. JP knob will show very poor voltage whereas testing the voltage with a diff meter and it’s barely dropping at all.
Yes, verify with a dmm. The built-in voltmeters on bass knobs are not built to be super accurate. I think JP put an adjustment screw on the back of the bass knob so that you could adjust the voltage to what it is at the battery.
Nooooo I have those exact cheap Amazon fuses 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Time to replace those.....sadly it's a bitch to replace.
Just hit me up if you’re wanting a package deal. 💯
How do I go about tracking my order? I ordered some a couple days ago and I was curious on my status
I ordered mines June 8th and still haven't received mines.
@@TheBoofGod I just got a notif this morning saying it was shipped. I would email them and ask
@@scottbe1 I did
@scottbe1 yeah I did. I received my 800a ones pretty quick though
@@TheBoofGod I hope mine get shipped soon. I have a show this weekend and being I’ve upgraded my amp I need bigger fuses since I’ve always ran smaller than rated for amp and wire. I ordered last week in hopes they would be here before this weekend but it’s not looking promising.
