[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8779894, member: 614752"] What subs and which amps? Amps are meant to have protection circuits to "protect" against being driven into conditions where they will blow themselves up, That sort of circuitry will always work faster than a fuse (which can generally pass far more current than it's rating briefly before opening) and will be far more reliable. Sure you can always throw a 3A fuse on your 1200W amp and probably never blow your 1000W rated sub or the amp, but for practical purposes, as the troll account said, the job of fuses is just to prevent catastrophic failure (fire) when/if something does go wrong.
