[QUOTE="Tony Tassillo, post: 668678, member: 64441"] if you keep blowing fuses you could always put tin foil around the fuse.:D:D:D j/p i wouldnt ever over fuse the gauge of the wire. a 20 awg wire (which im pretty sure it is) has a max of 18 amp current draw before it starts producing heat. thats why a 20amp fuse is placed in line. if you want higher amperage output from your sockets i would wire a relay triggered by your accwire that comes from the battery in the form of an 10 awg wire which will allow for a max of 55 amps of power. be sure all connections are tight as can be as loose connections create resistance and heat.
