[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 144811, member: 542392"] You are installing a capacitor incorrectly if you put a fused source in front of it. Think about what you are saying to do here - the source is fused, the feed is fused, the cap is supposed to be within 12" of the primary feed for the amp in question. If you put a fuse in, you create a current-limited, voltage dropping instrument into the primary feed. May as well not install the capacitor at all at that point. It's common knowledge to NEVER fuse the capacitor line between the cap and the amp. [/QUOTE]
