Question

http://www.millionbuy.com/ke3.html

is what im getting, but i don't know what size fuse i would need. I'm running 1/0 gauge wire.

Answer 1

100 amp fuse for 1/0 ga...but for this amp you only need a 4 ga wire,you are just wasting money unless you're putting in more than 1 amp..

Answer 2

at least 60amps

Answer 3

I agree with the above answer that 1/0 gauge is beyond your needs for that amp alone.  

The fuse should be chosen based on what size wire you are using.  This is because the fuse inline with the power cord is only there to protect the wire not the amp.  The amp already has fuses in it to protect it.  

1/0 gauge wire can handle up to 350A so a fuse of 350A or below will work.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 4

depends on the amp just put the same as whats on the amp cant go wrong there maybe even a little less so you dont have to worry about the amp fuses blowing

Answer 5

the amp has 2 30a fuses....so a 60a inline will do for your power wire....never go over this, you could cause damage to your amp if the fuses in the amp fail.

realistically, the fuses in the amp protect the amp. the inline fuse is used to protect your car incase something were to happen to the power wire and it were to get disconnected. the fuse will pop before too much arcing occurs and starts a fire. but a general rule of thumb is to keep it matching the amp's fuse rating.
