Fuses? Yes or no?

[snoopdan 5,000+ posts]

Yeah. Do they make bigger fuses then a 300a fuse? I know my amp is gonna pull more then 300 amps.

In an ANL, no. I've never seen over a 350. There are other fuse types though.

I use midi fuses myself for daily. four 200 amp midi's does me just fine.

that would work awesome with a bank of 8v's ...instant 12v to 16v setup at a push of a button!

I can't believe I am about to type this... but, I bypassed a fuse on my Punch 150 that kept blowing fuses while I was in high school (late 80s) and it caught on fire! Prior to the fire, Rockford Fosgate kept telling me to use a bigger fuse, use a bigger fuse, and when the amp continued to blow 45 amp fuses, instead of the 25 it originally called for, I hardwired it!

At least they repaired it under warranty //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif even though I lied and said it went into flames with the 45 amp fuse....

The main thing that would worry me about not fusing would be a car accident. You can't prevent them nor can you predict when they will happen to you. Furthermore, you haven't the slightest clue which wires will get pinched thus creating another hazard on top of the accident.

I am thinking of just fusing the front battery. Also should I fuse the power coming off the last battery going into the amp? Its only gonna be a short like 2 foot distance.

No it isnt.

 

[chunky cumz 10+ year member]

prolly good idea to fuse then

So I should fuse both power wires going into the amp? Since it has 2 power inputs.

Edit: There are very short distance. Like 2 feet or less.

just wanna make sure we are clear... Yes, if it has 2 power wires fuse em both.... no need to do the ground.
