[QUOTE="jmanpc, post: 4860054, member: 565915"] If you have an amp that can draw 200A with a 150A fuse on it, chances are, you're fine, because fuses have a tolerance before they will pop. 200A can pass through a 150A fuse, so long as its not a prolonged period of time (more than a few seconds) Due to the dynamic nature of music, most of the time, the amp won't be drawing 200A. Therefore, you're fine with a 150A fuse. If you have a 250A fuse on an amp that draws 200A max, there really won't be much that could go wrong. Edit: I was speaking of an under-hood fuse. Ultimate, looks like you were speaking of a fuse on the amp. [/QUOTE]
