Anl Fuse's

[Mesto]

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?

Should be ok

Should be fine unless for some weird reason ur amp goes crazy and pulls more current then its rated for...id personally get the 200amp fuse, better be safe than sorry

[Mesto]

Thanks both of you..

ill just use what's recommended

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

Sorry, I should have stated the fuse on the wire...

if ur fusin on the wire then u can use 300amp fuse...i thought u were talking about the one INSIDE the amp..

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

The amp still needs a 200a fuse on it for proper protection.
