Toady Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Alright so I got my new amp today, and it says that it recommends a 200A fuse. well i have a 140 circuit breaker under the hood, and that wire runs to my Capcell. So i was wondering would it be ok to add a 200 A and another fuse holder to the power going to the amp from the cell, or would it be too much.

1030tooled Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 It's not needed, but more fuses the merrier. All with what you want. Just make sure the cables are free from crimped areas and the extra fuses will not be needed. 93' Ford Aerostar Alpine head unit 4-5.25 MB Quarts 20-10" pyramids super Pro 1 Lanzar amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHR Ed Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 you should always use a fuse between a power component and another component. So for safety, you should have a fuse between the capcell and amp.

tacomabanga1986 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 ied put the 200amp fuse just befor the power wire goes into the amp within 12'' at most if u can thats what my buddy had to do with his memphis m4kd but i think he used 300amp fuses tho hope this helps, n i dnt think thats to much, the other fuse or circuit breaker just protects the wire to the capcell acually, the other fuse just protects the amp witch i dnt see how the hell they do in a way cause how can the amp make the fuse blow befor the fets or somethin blow like in reg amps? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
