****.... thats all i gotta say

i was bumpin the ying yang twins cd, lots of bass, and **** these subs hit nice clean and low in my 1.5cu/chamber sealed box, what a step up from a pair of jl12w3's

but since i installed these subs today, my 200amp circuit breaker off the battery keeps opening, on the jbl 1200.1 the gain is set pretty low and the alt/amp gauge doesnt wiggle that much....

that amp shouldn't ever draw more than 120 amps (that's enuf to blow the amp's internal fuses). If it's opening up a 200 amp breaker, it should pop the amp's internals first......sounds like your breaker is defective.

should i keep the 60amp fuse right before the amp or should i take it out? im goin to just stick a good 60amp fuse at the battery, that was there before, dont know why i put a cb.

I used to run a 60amp AGU as my main inline when i used the JBL and it didn't pop until i grounded it out by accident. As long as you're not giving it hell or playing gain master, the 60 amp should work.

Think of it this way: That fuse isn't protecting your amp or anything else running off the power line. That stuff should have it's own fuses in the first place. That 60amp is just there to protect the line itself and keep it from catching fire in the event of a short. Fuses will take surges far beyond their rated limit for a few seconds at a time, and with the spikey nature of that amp, it shouldn't pop anything bigger than a 60 amp unless you're playing test tones or something else with a constant cycle (bass mechanic cd, MECA test disc, yinyang twins //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif ).

i got 60amp fuses inline right before both amps, with 4ga wire from the batt. to a 200amp cb, i thought i played my w3's hard, i barely put these in yesterday....
