[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8386911, member: 614752"] At this point the only real savings of picking one over another would be who is closer to you (less postage). 80A fuse isn't going to protect a 1000W amp (as you have discovered). The amps I run are 1200W and I have to push them to open 60A fuses. If you never open a fuse while listening to music it's likely that they will not ever save your amp in the event of trouble if something goes wrong. I don't even open 80A fuses when I do SPL burps with them. It might could be you can buy fuses cheaper than replacing amps and you should consider some creative fusing ideas. If you deal with Zed Audio, Stephen will explain proper fusing to you. [/QUOTE]
