[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 144848, member: 542392"] Ohh I get a chuckle out of this one... Mine have never been fused after... Why? Because I know it's pointless, and completely useless. What do you think the "peak" rating on the amplifier is? It's what the amplifier is capable of creating during a transient burst. How do you think it acquires this power? Creates it out of air? If it creates 3kW, and it's a 1500Wrms amplifier, do you seriously think it can just sit and draw 120A and be over 100% efficient? During transient bursts, it not only WILL draw more current than the fuse rating, it is CAPABLE of it. Not only is it capable of it, it is designed to do so. Not only can I prove it, I can monitor it. Do you seriously think that fuse just instantly pops at whatever amperage it's rated for? Better question, do you seriously think that cap is helping you with the fuse in the way? [/QUOTE]
