Dinosaur amp help

[BrockSamson]

So i want to use an dinosaur amp (i bought used in like 90's but still works). It is a PSL (Phillips Sound Labs) A75watt 2channel.

How do i find out what the fuse rating should be to install in my car? (google provides little info). No fuses on amp.

I would post a pic but i get errors on mobile.

50-75 should be ok.

Not to question your knowledge but (for future reference) how do you determine that rating?

This amp has 14 gauge wire, another site i was looking at suggested 15 amp fuse (based on wire size).

15-25

I was wrong. I'm trying to find a fuse rating chart/watts but having no luck.

Pulled it straight out of his arse most likely.

Fuses are a LOT cheaper than amp repairs. I'd start at say 15 then move up 5A at a time to 30 if you open it too quickly.

FYI if you never open a fuse when getting really aggressive with the volume knob it will NEVER open quick enough to save the amp in the event of trouble.
