fuse problem

Yeah,
I would def. up your fuse size to 80 and fuse the compressors individually at 30. This way if one of your compressors goes bad, the other will still run and not leave you stranded.

when i first got my 380s running i started with a 60amp fuse. it worked like a week then went out. then after that a 60 would only last an hour if that. i upped it to an 80amp and never looked back. now i have 4ga wire with a 160amp circuit breaker then ran to a fused distribution block in the cab. it has 4 outlets, 1 for each comp(fused at 40amp each), and 2 left over for my amps. from the dist block i have 8ga wire ran to the compressor relays and such.

Well i looked for the 80s at the autoparts store but seems like i cant find them at any of those. Im assuming that an audio store is where im going to have to go? thanks for the information guys

Figured i would update the problem. I took everyones advice and checked all my grounds and everything and all of it was good. talked to mikey a bit more and picked up some 80 amp fuses because he was having the exact problem i was and was acting in the same manor. Ive been running the 80s for a week now and have ran the comps a good bit and its still holding up just fine. thanks for everybodys help.
