Im kind of a noob when it comes to fuses (the sizes mostly).

Ok heres the setup.
- I've got a 300Watt amp installed in my car right now. It came with the wiring kit which has a fuse (one of those round see-through plastic casing ones). So a wire goes from the positive terminal of the battery, to through the fuse, then into the amp.

The amp has a normal 25 amp fuse inserted into it.



- I have an old 1000Watt amp I am wanting to install. It has two 25 amp fuses inserted into it.


Now the question is, Can I just remove the wiring from the 300Watt amp, and attach it to my 1000Watt amp? Or do I have to buy a different fuse for the positive wiring? (seethrough cased one)


Thanks in advanced.

 

try to match the the fuse under the hood to the total fuse in the amp.ex amp had 2 30 amp fuses so you need a 60 amp under the hood.

 

So the 300 watt amp has a 25 amp fuse built into, so the fuse from the battery is probably only 25 amps then right?

So I need to get a 50 amp fuse for my 1000 watt since it has two 25's in it?

 

cooking with krisco.But you can go up 5 amps if you want for sudden power draw. So you could use a 30 and a 60.

 

Ok heres what I am going to try. Let me know if its totally stupid or not.

I took the 50A fuse from under the hood for the ABS. Since I don't have ABS.

Now will I be able to place this between the battery and amp for my 1000watt amp?
Also, how much do these fuses cost?

 

Go to a Audio shop and get a in line fuse.It should be about 15 -25 bucks(with fuse). Are you useing 4 ga wire?

 

5 bucks or so.... fyi car fuses and car audio fuses are worlds apart. I would stick with an audio fuse
