[QUOTE="oga_yellow, post: 2816759, member: 574267"] Could adding a bigger fuse void your warranty (if its still under warranty)? Why not take it back where you got it and see what they say? Also, I was under the impression that amps are designed with a certain fuse rating for a reason. If you are blowing it under normal conditions, there is probably another problem. Adding a larger fuse will just allow more current to pass to the problem, and probably more current than the components were designed for. The [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/fuses.htm"]bcae1.com section on fuses[/URL] scared me away from using larger fuses since I don't know as much about amps as whoever designed it. I've only had fuses blow on me twice time...once was how I found out I had a leaking gasket in the trunk lid. the second, (i'm embarrased to say) was wiring the terminals backwards in a hurry... in both cases, I'm glad the fuse fried before the amp...
