i already know the answer to this stupid question but a guy i know doesn't believe me. anyways here it goes: can a 60 amp fuse work in an amp that only takes a 15 or 30 amp fuse?? or will it cause a short in the amp or make it blow up?? sorry for this guys, but this guy is really pissin me off.

QUOTE(Hanyo @ May 22, 2005 - 11:15 PM) and it should not matter whether you hooked up the wire first and then installed the fuse. because either way.. 12volts is reaching the amp. [right][snapback]290430[/snapback][/right] it does matter for installation purposes. You risk easily shorting out, which can burn anything it touches that grounds. Once the power is hooked up solid, it's safe to let current go thru. Like i said, very doubtful it's what caused the problem but still a possibility. smlogg, sorry if you find that i'm being mean, it's just i've seen alot of people mess things up while trying to install an amp. I'm one of them. I don't think you fried your amp tho, i wouldn't go ahead and blame jnutz either. Pyramid amps are a cheap brand, from my experience in electronics, cheap = unreliable. I'm still curious to see what would've caused that short internaly. problems like that doesn't just happen out of nowhere.
