Real96SS Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yes you should run a fuse between your battery and amp.It protects your amp if something goes wrong.

JWBryant Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Doesnt the fuse in the amp protect the amp, I thought the inline fuses just protected the wire. Quote Basshead-in-Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the bass Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Another thing in your construction, if i understand it right, your rund a lead-acid batt (under the hood) and a AGM batt Kinetik 600. The batt´s don´t like this. Quote "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
