but he wont pop fuses for drawing more amps then the alternator cans supply because its not drawing enough amps to pop the fuse cause its obviously trying to spread the available amps out over too broad a group of accessories and overloading the alternator. t

he only way he would pop a fuse is if he had a grounded alternator with a fuse in the ground. because it would be drawing to much ground current trying to generate enough amps. but with the current setup he will just probably overheat the alt and blow it out. if hes drawing to many amps.
