Wiring advice RE: circuit breakers
I don't wanna put a bulky 1/0 gauge fuse holder in the engine bay, so I have decided to go the circuit breaker route. So far what I've found are ones that leave the ends of the wiring exposed made by RF/Stinger. Anyone have any suggestions or know where I can get an 80 - 100 amp circuit breaker that would keep the wires covered rather than exposed?
this is the one I speak of in terms of exposed wiring http://i14.ebayimg.com/02/i/07/02/8f/59_1.JPG
There is also this one I found which looks a bit better, however I've never heard of the company

TIA.

With the number of times you change your mind, 0awg is probably a good idea.

Ya ever think a decade of many manufacturers using the same platform that they may on to something? Asid from that they all have covers available.

OAwg is way overkill for your single amp setup, it can cause more harm then good.
aside from that anything that will potentially Need 0Awg will draw more than 80-100 amps

There are other options for fuse holders. There are more compact ANL fuse holders and there is also the maxi fuse holders as well. Your overkill 0 gauge decision is taking out a lot of options for you.

2Awg still overkill, but manageable. What is it cheap 0Awg??
No, you said you dont want Stinger.

Those fuse holders in the picture are still very large, I've seen/used them.

Holy cow! Am I missing something here? Someone said something about a 8" fuse holder??
I have a Stinger ANL fuse holder that's less than 4" x 3", fits 1/0 guage, and has a 150 amp fuse in it.
Are we all talking about the same thing here?
This is similar to the one in the first link that Don provided at the cardomain store.
