Jeremy009 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 I got a deafbounce aak 2000.1d...manual recommends a 200amp external fuse. All i got is a 120amp. What would happen if i use the 120amp vs running it direct in from the battery?
Mike4068 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 120 amp fuse will probably blow before you get max power from the amp. If you run straight from the battery and get a short anywhere you will lose your amp. Always fuse. I have a 250 in while I wait for my 300s and I can still get full power from my amp.
will77530 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 Depends how much power the amp actually draws you may be fine it may pop it’s worth a try in my opinion
SkarredSierra Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 Wat ohm load are you running this amp at? At 4 ohms u should be fine. But id say any higher than that would probably blow the fuse. If u can run it at 4 ohms and order new fuses. I always fuse the run to the wire rating unless the amp doesnt have a built in fuse. Then i fuse for the amp within 6 inches of the power input.

Then i fuse for the amp within 6 inches of the power input. Am running it at 1ohm, lucky enough i ran it direct to the rear battery and nothing didnt blow, i put the 120amp fuse and strange enough there was not a lost in output and am metering the same numbers...i guess that means i never was really hitting anywhere around 120amps all the time. My electrical is a redtop optima in front and a xs xp3000 in the back with a 140amp alt, 1 run of ofc 1awg wire (bass amp is 2000rms and mids is 800rms) What can i do to get the 200amps or in other words more current to the bass amp?
Mike4068 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 You should be concerned with keeping your voltage up not your amps.
SkarredSierra Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 If its working let it work. Mike has a good point. But id still order the correct amp fuse.
Guest Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 I would not want to risk underpowering the amp with a fuse that is lower than the 200amps that it claims to need. Straight wire while u wait for the right fuse 2 come in the mail or run down to a shop and buy1, I mean theyre like 3 bucks
MrSkippyJ Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 It won’t underpower the amp, it will just pop the fuse. Terrible idea to suggest running without the fuse.

will77530 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 How does a smaller fuse limit current? can someone please explain this to me
