afrakes Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Do I need to add a second fuse on my power wire near the amp to fuse for the amps ratings? The amp has onboard fuses so I don't think I need to, but I have heard conflicting opinions on this. The wire will already be fused near the battery to the wires rating.

If your going to do that... your fusing for the wire protection.. not the amp..... SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold

Would you see doing that as being necessary or just a safe overkill? Vehicle: 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD WT Head Unit: Pioneer DEH- Mids/Highs: Focal Integration ISC 165’s (front) Subs/Amps: TBD
