[QUOTE="thegreatestpenn, post: 7739336, member: 582482"] since you don't have a fuse close to your amp the amp's fusing will be counted as an "unofficial" score (as in a score that could not gain you league points if you were a member). if you amp has no fuses then we take the max power of the amp, cut it in half, and consider the fusing for that would require (so if you have a 1500wrms, 3000wmax amp we take 1500 and figure you need a 150a fuse for it). So you do not gain from lacking that close fuse, it hurts you in the longrun. so if you don't care about your class run as is, but if you want to be in your best possible class add a fuseholder 18" away or closer to your amp to put a small fuse in. or a distro block, that is what most competitors do. here's an example: in my car i have a 250a fuse near the front battery and in the trunk i have a distro block where i run a 30a and 40a mini-anl fuse about 12" from my sub amp so i can compete in Street 2 class. make sense?
