Most of all, Isn't this forum here to help each other preserve & max the efficiency of our cars?

I got the big three & my sound system is awesome, my hid's both headlights & fogs, and all electrical functions work great with out going to a H.O. alternator.

Take what you can use and be cool folks.

I have all the things you've mentioned and no big three yet my electrical system is doing just fine, in fact, I monitor it via a voltmeter gauge I have installed in my car.

Just because you havn't had a short doesnt mean you don't have a flaw in your electrical system.

Go look at your fuse box in your house, theres a main breaker for the entire panel. The same thing applies in your car. You have one massive fuse called a fusible link. Google it, you'll find many articles on it. Its not necessary, but neither is any fuse for that matter but its recommended for safety reasons.

Just because it works without it doesnt mean you shouldn't have it.

You can't be negative because someone else invested their time and money into it but you can't be constructive since that'd be contrary to what the OP spent their time and money on....

I did not disagree with you. Just merely try to tie things up with you all about the subject.

Here is the fusible link. I comes from the stater to the fuse block assy.[/IMG]
