Considering the source...ya.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Yes that is true not all amps come with fuses built on them. You still need to put your own fuse under the hood to protect the wiring and the vehicle.

There are only 2 10000 watt amps on the market that produce that power, soon a third will be among us

all 3 of those amps will cost over $2500 even on ebay!

clarion makes an amp that, while not quite 10,000 watts, DOESN'T have an on-board fuse.
