[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8753434, member: 654802"] Since you said the new amp also protected, the last effort would be to connect the amp direct to your car battery. This will rule out faulty wiring and boat battery if it does not work. The fuse is to protect the wire. If the wire grounds out and the fuse is too big, it could cause a fire. Most amp's protect circuit will guard against over/under voltage amongst other things, but I think JL still recommends an external fuse near the amp. I hope the car battery test yields good results. I would also test the new amp while you're testing the JL. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
