no fuses in those pics.

so as far as fusing this amp, would one 300a be fine? my starter battery (only batt) is in the back, right below the amp. hc2400

the consenus on termpro is yes.

Calculating Amplifier Current Demands

By using the total fuse values of the amplifier, you can get an idea of the amount of current draw that will be demanded under full output power. Although the full output rating is good to determine the total amperage draw in the system, it does not represent the true continuous or averaged amperage draw in the system. Listed below is a simple way to determine the approximate continuous current draw of your amplifier.

1. Determine total fuse value of the amplifier. (Many Amplifiers have multiple fuses built in, simply add the values of all fuses.)

2. Divide the RMS power rating by the Peak power rating.

Example: 50 Watts RMS Divided by 100 Watts Peak Power = .50 (50%)

Once you figure the percentage of RMS vs. Peak power, you multiply the fuse value of the amplifiers by the RMS percentage.

For Example: If the amplifiers fuse value were 30A, then 30A multiplied by 50% would be 15A of continuous current draw.

well, that really doesn't help now, does it!

ok, im gonna get a cheap fuse holder tonite, until i get another matching knukonceptz one since the one i have right now is knukoncepz.

what are some other cheap and good fuse holders? cuase in my explorer im gonna have 13 amps....and dont wanna spend 25 each for the Knu ones.. lol

stinger makes a dual ANL w/readout, I think the new ones have ammeters on them too. With 13 amps, I'd think good fuse holders would be a wise investment.

Try what I've seen before. bolt the fuse right to buss bar and use a set-screw ring terminal to attach the wire directly to the fuse.
