This changes the factor of fusemental to a whopping 2.12946 feet. Any more or less, and your car will not only not start, but instantly blow up. Don't be a victim. Place the fuse wisely.. |

Bronze Member Username: SemperfiPost Number: 26 Registered: Oct-08 | oh ok thanks guys! i was under the impression that the fuse was there painly to protect the amp from popping its fuses not melting the wire... but i should have my system all ready tomorrow i'll post pics of it tomorrow... one more thing is 40Hz to high for a DD? |

Gold Member Username: JoebruceTC Sounds/DLS Post Number: 2511 Registered: May-04 | Then why did you ask if 40hz was too high for a DD? |

Gold Member Username: JoebruceTC Sounds/DLS Post Number: 2512 Registered: May-04 | Oh lol I thought you meant Digital Designs my bad. I would tune lower for that IDmax,around 32-34hz should be good. |
