Deeznutz Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Ok, I we have the RF T1500-1BDCP installed in the Jimmy pushing 4 RF HX2 12's (The RF Power 15's recone and install are on hold til I fix the Camaro). There 's a 200 Amp Sound Quest fuse up front by the battery. Reading the manual, the amp does call for a 200 Amp fuse to be connected between the amp and battery. In the past I've only installed amps with on-board fuses- using the same battery-fuse concept. Not too familiar with the non-fused amps thus the question. Do I have to fuse the amp again with a 200 Amp fuse, and upgrade the battery fuse to a 300 amp fuse now that the T1500 is connected-AND- it's still a 2 amp system? The 200 Amp at the battery was for the Avionixx amps, combined fuses totaled 200 amps (30Ax4, and 40Ax2). Please school on this stuff regarding non-fused amps. Appreciate the feedback. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Youve upped your draw. I'd put in a 300 amp fuse. Since you now have two amps how are you distributing the wire to each amp? I typically fuse a distribution block and fuse each amp there THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

Deeznutz Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I have 0 gauge stinger at the battery/fuse junction to the back of the Jimmy. From the back, I have the 0 gauge on a wooden block with a bolt, a 4 gauge wire feeds the T1500-1, and an 8 gauge feeds the Avionixx 4 channel. (Using only 2 channels) So 300A ANF at the battery, than a dual ANF or Maxi-fuse distribution block with an 80A and 200A to feed both amps? I appreciate the feedback N8! -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I think I get away with a 150 on my rf 1500...but you have the right idea.

Deeznutz Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 cool, I had an extra 200A fuse and block, but I thought "if there's 2 200A fuses in series, will one blow if the amp needs it to in order to protect it?". If that's the way to do it, than I will do it. Larger fuse, to smaller fuses. Thx guys. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 so you have 2 amplifiers right? one that has 120 amps of fusing on it and one that has none, but requires 200 amps? if so, I would drop a 300 amp fuse on your 0g near the battery then run that wire to a distro block. Then from there, use a 200amp for the RF and a 120amp for the other amplifier.

Deeznutz Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 LOL. The current set up is: 200A fuse at the battery Avionixx CXA1040 with 40A x 2 fuses RF T1500-1BDCP requiring a 200A fuse. All these amps and numbers can be confusing. lol. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 You can't supply that much current anyways so fuse it for what you an supply. That being said I could feed mine and it played music with a 120 amp fuse. Rockford list the average current draw as 100 amps on music. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Deeznutz Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Making it way to hard. hahaha. Honestly, I'm asking because I do not know how to deal with an unfused amp. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
