[QUOTE="Kenyanbasshead, post: 8516537, member: 669696"] The amp delivers 3500rms at 12.4 volts. If my voltage is at 13.3/ 13.4 volts it should be delivering slightly above the rated rms. I understand tht fuses are there for fires. But i also thought they were there against short circuit protection. So instead of frying the amp it first burns the fuse. Therefore protecting it....??? Manual states 300amp fuse. Now that i have double the wires/ cables going to and from the amp just makes me wonder if the current get devided among the cable meaning halving the fuse rating. I just want to go by the book so that if anything happens, i get my warrenty. I never used to fuse either with my old setup. But my new setup cost me an arm and a leg so just want to take all precautions before i royally sc re w up. [/QUOTE]
