sound like a bad idea. you should never hook up anything that is directly connected to the power source without a fuse. I say go buy a DMM for 20 bucks or so. Its a great investment and im sure you will use it later.if the amp is externaly fused id just hook the power to the amp with out the fuse just to see if thats the prob if u dont have a DMM. then ud know 4 sure if u needed another fuse. my brutus amp did that same mess the hifonics was lit half assed and no sound it was my fuse i had way to small a fuse and it 3/4 the way melted the bar. just a sugestion
as for your fuse, you could find those fuses anywhere at pepboys, home depot, etc. as long as you match the fuse rating with the one you replaced, you are set.
