n31l_m4nu3l Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I own a directed 1200t and it calls for 3 30a fuses. its wired at 1 ohm bridged. And once i turn it up to certin point and it pops the fuses like nuthin'. could this be cuz i dont have any inline fuse off the battery?

MXmike800 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 yes and you should deff have a fuse off the batt it will save your amp from frying, are you sure there are no shorts in the wiring for the amp?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Deffently positive i installed it this morning. and i spent prolly 10 dollars in fuses just to bump today and be safe. if i have the same problem when i put an 200a fuse off the battery would it be safe to use higher amp fuses in my amp?

MXmike800 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 there is a chart somewhere on the webs it will say what size inline fuse to use depending on the watts your amp is pulling id wait for some of the other guys to reply and see what they have to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe1129 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Actually the fuses in the amp protect it from frying, the fuse on the power wire protects the wire/vehicle in case there is a short in the wire somewhere. I wold suggest getting an inline fuse asap! but yes your power wire may be shorting out somewhere causing your amps fuses to blow.

roscoe1129 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 slowblows hmmm heard of em but not for amplifiers and if your amp is getting hot your thermal protect should kick in b4 your fuses pop... hopefully!
