i just ordered a 2nd amp. the fuses on it are 25A x 2. should the inline fuse i put on it be set to 50 as well? It shouldnt ever draw above 50 right?
I'd run a 40 personally... if your peak amp draw is 50 then the typical draw will be around 25-30... if you run a 40 you "shouldn't" blow it and it'll provide better protection for your amp... would you rather replace a 2 dollar fuse or a 200 dollar amp??
The fuses on the amp are already there to protect it. The fuse on the wire is to protect your battery and the wire from burning causing a fire. It should match the length and gauge of your wire. 40 would probably work, but if you can get a 50 or above (up to the gauge of your wire) I would do it.
Cool, glad to see the audio system is coming along nicely. What about your next car? You still going after another 3-series?
I am. Working extra hard. HOPE to be able to purchase one within a year, but I don't know. Im actually more content with driving my 15 year old ride now that it sounds better
