benz280se Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 whats up yall. in my system i have us amps 400, esx q404, two ssd12's, a duralast battery upfront and an optima red top in back. for fuse i only have the one in between the two batteries and it is 80a. thats the only one the local car shop had left at the time of install. my question is should i go ahead and order a bigger fuse? does it really matter? and should i have another fuse somewhere in my setup? the esx is internally fused and the us amps has very good internal protection. anybody with thoughts on this?
banginAltima Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 You "should" have a fuse within 18 inches of every battery. A lot of people don't do this for what ever reason. 80 seems a little small but i guess it depends on how many amps of current your amp pulls. If you build it, db's will come...

Guest MegaloManiac Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 put the biggest fuse for that wire size. we are not worried about your amp we are worried about your car catching fire amp has its own fuses anyways..
