[QUOTE="knukonceptz, post: 1573603, member: 548221"] Blowing a fuse in your case is not going to hurt anything. A fuse blows to protect other parts from damage. In this case, your protecting the wire since the amp can and wants more power. Upgrade to a 120A fuse. A few things cause voltage drop, one is bass, the other known as loss, is from resistance of the cable @ x amount of Amps. Using poor wiring or the wrong gauge cable, creates a bigger loss. Deep bass notes increase the severity of these drops/loss. Under voltage protect is listed by most amp maufactures in there protection circuit. However, that usually ends up causing most amps' failure. Lower voltage makes the power supply work harder to keep up with the outputs demand for power. Over working the power supply is what causes most failures (that and runing an amp at an impedance it was not designed for) Use a digital volt meter to see what your voltage is at the amp. With it off you should see 14V, @ full volume you'll see dips into 13V, lower then 12.6 is not good [/QUOTE]
