[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1982493, member: 550915"] Try a 120A fuse. If it blows, then you need to upgrade your pos wire. If it doesn't blown then case closed. Fuse rating of amplifiers is a terrible way to decide how much fusing or wiring you need for power. Under anything resembling normal use, the amp will not draw anything near the fuse rating. Especially for a mid/high amp I would be suprised if it drew even half of the fuse rating in current with music. My 225s have an internal fuse of 30A. I was running them bridged into my midbasses and I seriously doubt that they were pulling 15A each in that configuration. [/QUOTE]
