How do you figure? The in-line fuse is preventing the wire from heating up and igniting your car, not preventing your amp to blow.Fusing the wire for the amps is really only necessary if the amps themselves don't have fuses. Not saying it's a bad idea, because it's isn't, I'm just saying it's not a necessity.
i can second this!!!How do you figure? The in-line fuse is preventing the wire from heating up and igniting your car, not preventing your amp to blow.
NO MATTER WHAT, ALWAYS fuse power wire.
no your fine 1/0 wire is rated for 300a. but i would probly run like a 150-200a with that ampwait, I know I'm thread jacking but...
my friend got a Kicker amp install kit and it comes with a 300 amp fuse....
we are using 1/0 awg but only for about 1000-1100 rms watts (hifonics 1606D @ 2 ohms)
fuse useless??

I'm not saying fuse higher than the wire can handle. You are misunderstanding what I'm saying. I wasn't replying to the OP.How do you figure? The in-line fuse is preventing the wire from heating up and igniting your car, not preventing your amp to blow.

NEVER fuse a wire higher than it's rating.

If you go back and read your post that he replied to, you could read it as you saying you do not need an inline fuse because amps already have internal fuses. I understood your point, but he obviously read it differently.I'm not saying fuse higher than the wire can handle. You are misunderstanding what I'm saying. I wasn't replying to the OP.
What I said was, you can fuse for the amps, meaning use a smaller fuse on the wire than it's rating (ex: 150 instead of 200 or 250 or 300). That still protects the wire as well as the fuses at the amp.
How does that risk a fire?
