Fuse Keeps Blowing

[Athletestar123 10+ year member]

I have an AGU 60 amp fuse, I have 2 sa 12s running on a hifonics brutus 2100.1D amp. Do I need to get a bigger fuse? In the last 3 days ive blown 2 fuses. Also they dont blow right away only if I turn it up to loud.

60 amp fuse is only good for about 600 watts or so,so you might need to up your fuse what is the amp rated for?

is it the fuses in the amp or your power wire? is it externally fused?

Fuse the wire not the amp. What size wire? Should be 1/0. Is it OFC or CCA?

Those amps don't have a fuse on them

Why are you using a 60 amp fuse for a 2100 watt amp?

Get a 250 to 300 amp fuse and make sure you are using 0 gauge wire

for craps sakes this^ all day. Probably the stock fuse on a 4ga cca kit.

What gauge wire you have at the moment? Don't wanna up the fuse past the wire rating

you need to upgrade your wire to 0/1 asap, or puff the magic smoke if your lucky if not lucky, new car. atleast 250a fuse on that 0/1. i have a saz1500 rated for 150a but went ahead a placed a 200a fuse to be just to be on the safe side. seriously, change your wire, power/ground for that amp.
