[QUOTE="hatedonmostly, post: 7196997, member: 611322"] On average, how much current does, let's say, a 1200W amp draw that is fused at 120A? With gain set appropriately to 1200W, at full tilt, perfect voltage, etc. I know fuses can take more current than they are rated for for short bursts, but I was also told that amps don't constantly pull their max fused rating unless there is some sort of issue with the install; such as poor ground, etc. Would just like to be enlightened on the subject.
