ISO Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I would use a 250 amp fuse. I like to have a little headroom in my fusing exspecially if my amps have built in fuses.

ISO Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 you are talking about the main fuse up front by the battery aren't you?

I like to have a little headroom in my fusing exspecially if my amps have built in fuses. only tha bass amp has a built in fuse but tha 4 channel amp dont. Then you will need to add another fuse right before the 4 channel and for that fuse I always stick to the manufacture's recommendation.

I don't see any reason to use dual ANL fuses up front by the battery unless you have more than one wire up there or the combined value of the fuse excead's the anything you can find. I would use a 250 amp fuse. Edited March 16, 2011 by ISO Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.
