Recommended Fuse Size

Post by soth »

What fuse size should a person use in the fused d-block for the ms2125 and mps2500.

2125 at 4 ohm bridge OR 2 ohm stereo
2500 at 1 ohm bridge or 1 ohm stereo.

currently i've got a 60a and 50a agu fuse for it.
Or better yet, what is the benefit of running a fused distribution block when the amps are internnaly fused and you have the fuse within 18" from the battery? Is it just overkill?

Thanks

60 for the MS, and up to 80 or so for the MPS.

You can run 50 to the MS and 60 to the MPS for the time being. They should hold up alright.

My understanding is that if you've got a fuse as close to the battery as possible and your amps are internally fused, you don't strictly need a fused distribution block. However, I don't know what, if any, potential benefit there is to running a fused distro block at this point.
