Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1213 Registered: Mar-04 | I suggested 150A only because that's more than enough for the nine.1 and will just a higher factor of safety vs 250. That's why I asked about a 2nd amp because the 150A should be adjusted for it if it's sizeable at all. But yeah, the 250A will work too. And not to pile on, but Rob, the fuse at the batt is for wire protection only. Fuses on or near the amp are the only fuses intended for amp protection. In my personal experience, however, the only time I've blown an on board fuse the amp was already toast. |
