Guest MegaloManiac Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Fuses on wires is to protect the wire. You are suppose to use the biggest fuse for that wire. Your amp has its own fuses. For every wire coming of a power source requires a fuse to prevent fires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean 371 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) I normally have everything wired up except I leave the fuse out at the front. And then when I'm ready I just bolt that in. And are you sure you fried it? Have you tried it yet?
