I've thought about using them instead of fuses simply because I have to take my stuff out so often it'd be easier than messin with a fuse and in my case always losing them

I use one, It works for what I need it for. I use it to shut me back batterys down when I don't use that car for awhile or to charge the back 3 seperate. Easier than pulling a fuse.

1. Circuit breakers are usually much slower to trip than fuses.

2. Over time, a circuit breaker could add resistance which could cause more of a voltage drop.

if you wire your system right...you don't need circuit breakers or fuses //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

In the 4 years I've been doing car audio installs, I've never had any blow a fuse at the time of install or after. If you know what you're doing and you're careful, you shouldn't ever blow fuses. The only reason I could see getting a circuit breaker would be for a separate battery bank, which was stated before.
