Posted February 27, 200916 yr Ok so i just bought the 3000 and it requires at least a 300 amp fuse. my question is where do i put it, do i put it right before the amp like i did with the battery fuse is not supposed to be no further than like 12 inches. i dont want to sound stupid but all the amps ive ever owned like a RF T10001 and hifonics and us merlin amps have always had built in fuses.
February 27, 200916 yr Just that simple just put an in-line fuse within 12 inchs of the amp. Done deal. It doesnt make sense though does it if theres one at the battery. hmmm... nice amp though
February 27, 200916 yr if you're fused at the front batt, then i dont see a need for the fuse back there. you just need a fuse before the amp because its not internally fused. the 12" thing close to the amp is more for if youre running an extra batt in the back and wire straight from it to the amp.

February 27, 200916 yr you want the fuse 12" closer to the battery. Not the amp. If the cable is exposed and wires are shown, well get ready for a fire show. Get it closer to the battery IMO.
March 3, 200916 yr Next year im planning on gettin an expedetion and either one of these amps or a 3500 (probally the 3500) my question is, what kind of electrical upgrades do you need (how many amp altenator) and what kind of battery/ batterys for the cheapest setup to power it, (also is this thing capable of powering 4 15" ssds?
