Mesto Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I recently got a good deal, and purchased two Pioneer Premier PRS-D1200SPL according two the online manual... this amp uses a 200anl fuse. The Kicker Amp Kit I Have came with a 300 ANL fuse.. my question is now.. is if i use the 300 ANL fuse instead of getting the recommended 200ANL fuse will this cause any substantial damage the amp...there are no stupid questions right?

Guest MegaloManiac Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) um use a 200a fuse. 300a thats an extra 100amps of current. a fuse is to protect the amp. youd be absolutely stupid to use a 300a fuse on an amp that requires a 200a fuse edit: are we talking about the fuse on the amp or the wire? if we are talkin bout the wire(1/0awg) 300a fuse on wire is fine, that fuse is to protect wire from fire, amp should have own fuses Edited October 2, 2007 by MegaloManiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerdown Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Megalo always makes me feel offended LOL don't feel like that. the suggested ANL fuse is the min. fuse for the amps wiring that is all like Megalo stated its in case the power wire shorts out you can also look at it like this with the 300 amp fuse any add ons or upgrades you won't have to upgrade the fuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick824 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 The amp still needs a 200a fuse on it for proper protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
