Hello. I was curious to know what size fuse to place in line from the battery for this amp. I purchased the fused distribution block (Minus the fuses ofcourse) and want to know which ampere value to use. The 12V battery will be feeding the PCX-2400 Precision Power amp delivering 1600W x 1ch @2ohm into two Premier PRS12" DVC subs. Each sub will handle 1200W max. What is the recommended fuse rating to be safe in these operating parameters? Thanks for your time.
are you using multiple amps? what style of distribution block? AGU fuses? AGU's are only rated to 60 amps, although i've seen a few suppliers that make 80 amp agu's. or are you asking what to fuse your primary power cable at the battery?

For that single amp you will need a 200 anl amp fuse like
this one.

Yes I am using dual amps but the power splits within the distribution block. The other amp is the Pioneer Premier GM-X1034 rated @ 4 X 130W Max. There is one "0" AWG power cable entering the dist. block and three "4" AWG wires exiting. One for the Premier and two for the PPI. It is an ANL fused distribution block from Stinger. I believe the smallest ANL made is a 60 Amp so that is going for the Premier. My question was actually for the PPI only.
The maximum current draw for the PPI is 134 Amps. 1600W/12V. Can anyone explain why I would use the 200 Amp fuse? Just curious for the correct explanation to be up to speed. Thanks.
