fuse size help

[mackallmike]

im runnin 2 12in type r's and a cadence txa1000d at 1000rms@1ohm i think it has a built-in fuse with a 3 farad cap i have a 200amp circuit breaker by the batt what size fuse should i put by the amp???oh and im usin 2ga wire

The factory supplies a 60 amp one with the TXA-750D which puts out 600 watts RMS so a good bet would be a 100 amp fuse for the TXA-1000D

i was thinkin 10 amps per 100 watts

still works out to 100 amp fuse in this situation

4 gauge is plenty for that amp and a 100 amp fuse will work as well. The amp comes with an 80 amp fuse and you should mount that with in 6 inches from the amp since there is no onboard fusing.

if the amp has an internal fuse than don't worry about it.

also a fuse does not "put out" power...it passes current.

inline fusing is based on the size of the wire...not the power of the amp.

According to the link I posted above, it has no onboard fusing...

Why is that...some amps have the fusing inside.

Does the same thing as having the fuses on the side of the amp.

Please enlighten me on how two fuses right next to each other would be beneficial???

I edited my post, since the amp has no onboard fusing, according to this link that I posted above...
