[QUOTE="lumpmoron2, post: 357734, member: 551697"] Say there was a short in your electrical system. The amplifer's onboard fuses will protect it from burning itself up, but it could send the fault back to your battery/alternator causing more burned out things in your entire car. if anything faults and its not fused from the battery it risks a big chance in wires melting. the amplifer would run without a fuse from the battery, but it would just endanger your vehicles electrical system and not the actual amplifer. some amplifers dont have onboard fuses and Require an external fuse right before it. only reason you need a fuse on your wires that handles the same amprage as your amplifers in use is so the wire can supply the amplifer with enough amp's as to not blow the fuse but still protect it from a short circuit if that were to happen. hope this clears everything up. :thumbsup [/QUOTE]
