[QUOTE="falconman515, post: 8180574, member: 658164"] No the amp is a subwoofer Mono d-class Alpine amp (MRV-M500) powering a 10" JL Audio sub (W0). Should I get the 60amp fuse in this case? Just want to make sure I have the right fuse in the fused distribution block ... I know the amp has the x2-30amp fuses already but I'm sure having this secondary fused DB block is great as well ... just need to know if I should be running a larger fuse then 30? ... figured 60 would be the best best. By the way the Fused Distribution Block is a single 4 in split into x2 AGU fuses out ... so I have one wired for this amp and the other open (no fuse in it yet of course, just the one for the sub amp right now) and ready for a 4-channel amp in the future when I start working on the highs. EDIT: I did find this in the Amp user manual ............ Battery Lead (Sold Separately) Be sure to add an in-line fuse with the battery lead as close as possible to the battery’s positive (+) terminal. This fuse will protect your vehicle’s electrical system in case of a short circuit. Consult the table below for appropriate fuse value and minimum wire gauge requirement. [B]MRV-M500 ..........................60 amp fuse, 4AWG/21mm2[/B] MRV-F300 ............................40 amp fuse, 8AWG/8mm This kinda states the fuse by the battery should be at least 60 amps ..... I currently have a full 100 amp MAXI fuse at my battery .... but then my 4awg wire goes back to the amp and I am running into this split Fused Distribution Block > then from there the 18" 8awg out to the amp. Does having the 60 amp fuse in that fused block still apply considering the manual says to have a 60 amp fuse for the MRV-M500??? Thanks so much for all the info guys.
