tacomabanga1986 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 i got a 250 ran from my front battery to my rear, but i unno bout useing one that big goin to the amp, it will take a shit tone more than 200amps to blow one of those fuses, my friend had a run of 0guage in her alero with a 150amp fuse and when they took her system out the power wire was still hooked up n my buddy found that out, n he said when he looked under the hood the fuses was bright red but wasnt blown, so ied be careful runnin that much unless its less than how many amps ur amp's fuseing is worth, ied run fuses to my amps from rear battery but i only have about 12-15'' of wire comein from it so fusing isn't all that necessary to me, as long as my batterys are fused thats all im worried about Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit

FiBTLforlife Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 well dats wat they installed at da shop u would think they know best but i guess not!!! might of been what they had on hand. never know bc some shops were im at dont handle 300amp fuses, you got to order it. but if amp calls for 300amp, then run the 300amp fuse Quote 2 AQ 10'' HDC3 copper subs 1 3500d AQ amp 146.3db on TL with stock electrical in single cab truck at 32hz RESULT: 1st place at comp, 3rd overall out of 20 cars
raytard Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 the 200 is fine for a 1600 watt amp(you should have learned by now that RMS matters, max is a bad joke) they know what they are doing, that fuse should basically last you forever.

BJD3 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) I say use the 200 until it blows. Unless my understanding of fuses is wrong (and though it's possible, I doubt it) it can't hurt anything to have a fuse that will blow sooner. But one that is rated for more can. EDIT: I can't spell tonight. lol Edited April 29, 2009 by BJD3 Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.
