i ran into this new item the Monster 400 Series Circuit Breaker and it has great features and was posted for the new sema and i was under the understanding that you ca replace your fuse blocks with these . which do you all agree the circuit breaker or an fuse block? ------------- 1993 sdv

yeap it can replace your fuse block, nice to have if you are serious with your audio. if yout fuse blows, you need to change it. with the breaker, you can switch your system on or off with a simpe switch. its a bad ass thing to have in your car. i have an in line fuse breaker and its SERIOUSLY nice to have. enevthough its generic, i wish i had a mopnster 400

Well I have 250a fuses one on the amp power wire and one on the power wire to the alternator(big 3) I think it would be useless to add one between the alt/battery huh?

It would be a waste of money to replace your perfectly fine fuse with that probably very expensive circuit breaker. If your popping fuse's enough to have to be thinking about a circuit breaker then you have bigger issues at hand. I have never popped a fuse in my life in my audio system.

yup, if you wish to SHOW off your engine and have a big Monster 400 then by all means go ahead. If you have the proper fuse for your system, using an inline fuse or AGU black is the same.

true i havent blown any fuses but i wanted to know if its worth the buy but i thought of installing a inline switch just incase i needed to work on my system and didnt want to deal with a live wire
