ok well it been awhile since ive been here and i got a lot to update on but ill take care of that after i get this figured out. I just got an alpine type r and still have my alpin mr1000 v12 series amp my old subs werent as powerful and didnt need as big of a fuse how do i know what size fuse i can go up to.

 

I have a kicker KX1200.1 amp and 2 Concept 10" subs. I use a 60 amp fuse. That should be fine for you as well.

lol sorry but a 120 wasnt even enough so i dont think a 60 will do

 

go in to a stereo shop and tell them you want a breaker for it . get rid of the fuses.

also they have a chart in most good ones for the power your pulling to the amp and what is needed.

So i would go that route.
After putting in the breaker in mine i refuse to go back to a fuse for it. now i can shut the system down with one flip of the breaker. and i dont have to worry about it as i can hid it now alot better becuse i dont have to change it out.

 

How big is your power wire? If you're blowing a 120 amp fuse I'd say you may have problems elsewhere.

 

ok well i figured it out it wasnt the fuse it was the fuse holder. it wasnt connecting good and the electricity was "jumping" i think that was the term used. well that explained the look of the fuse and now everything works fine with a new fuse holder and i only needed a 100a fuse. problem solved.

Haha, yea, I seriously hope you found the problem.... Blowing a 120amp fuse with that setup is not good. The 100A will be plenty for ya.[/blockquote]

i just want to piggy back off of you for fuses: my 12volt plug oin the front no longers works butthe one in the back is fine so where would this fuse be por wut else could it be?

 

lol hey i have the same problem too but i never use it so i dont really think about it
