I have a 60 amp fuse on my JP23. The amp is wired to 1 ohm, so it is capable of putting out 2500ish watts (on a dyno).



If I had it up loud and the fuse blew, would that be able to cause any damage the the amp? The subs?
I'm think about the violent collapse in electricity supply.
 
It shouldn't, it lost all power. It's not like you were trying to play em as loud as you can while underpowered. It's no different then turning off the power button on your head unit.

Not sure why you have that fuse on there though. That fuse is for the wire, so unless you have 8awg wire on that, and your amp doesn't have its own fuse, it should be sized between the amps fuse and the wire's capability.

You're not going to know until you test with a meter. Typically even carpeting a box as opposed to painting is going to lose a few tenths.
