[QUOTE="Brett3rThanU, post: 7284651, member: 631269"] I purchased a JL Audio 4 gauge amplifier installation kit, installed it, and now realized the fuse that came with it is one of those "Blade Fuses" and is unfortunately 100A, meaning not easy to find a replacement. Reading the JL Audio web site is says for the 300/2v2 amp a 40A fuse is recommended. I called JL Audio technical support and he confirmed that none of their amps are fused, meaning the only fuse is in the power cable and it really shouldn't matter if I run a 100A fuse instead of the recommended 40A because the amp won't draw anymore than 40A. He said that fuse is really only there to protect the car and wire in case of an accident or something. I guess it makes sense, but wanted to hear other thoughts. [/QUOTE]
