my btl stopped playing today =(

I think i blew the inline fuse on the power cable running to my amp. Any suggestions on what type of ANL fuse I should get that would be able to withstand as much as the btl has been eatting up like a fat kid loves cake? THanks for the help, much appreciated.

4gauge,..and sorry my mistake, it's an AGU fuse

The absolute max I would do on 4 gauge is like 100 amps.

What size did you have before?

 

[ultimate157 5,000+ posts]

For 4 gauge, ~130A

The absolute max I would do on 4 gauge is like 80 amps.

6 gauge is good for more than 80 amps, and that's @ a 20' length

Can you even get AGU fuses bigger than 100A?

Last I heard 80 amp is the max. Some make 100amp AGU's, however the fuse holder becomes the fuse in that case.

You can get larger AGUs.

Real question is why did it pop - you're running that BTL on the 800.2, right?

Bigger problems than a blown fuse. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i searched ebay and i found some 80A and100A fuses. Some were platinum and others were gold-plated. Some were no name brands, or scorpion, audiopipe... any difference? whether a brand name or not?
