[QUOTE="negolien, post: 8340865, member: 661142"] Stop giving people bad info when are you going to learn? There is no fuse on that amp and your telling him he only needs one at the battery. Your advice is yet again wrong. Taken from Crutchfield: "Q: Do I need a separate fuse block too? A: A safe system will have the right fuses installed at each amplifier and also on the power cable by the battery. But if you've ever taken a peek at some multi-amp competition-style car audio systems, you may have noticed fuses at a third location — in a fuse block by the amps. Sure this hardware looks good, but is it necessary? If your amplifiers have on-board fuses, you don't need another set. But if your amplifiers don't each have their own fuses, you definitely do need to fuse each amp's power line near the amp. Often this is done with a fused distribution block, so each amp gets its power line fused as it's split off from the main power cable.
