    Nope, it is a safety feature. If there is a surge of voltage that goes thru the amplifier, more than it is designed to take, then it is the fuse's job to cut off the power supply so that the amplifier won't be damaged.

    Think of it this way, it is like a circuit breaker for the amplifier.

    The fuse is for protection of your electricals outside of the Amp.

    Kung ang amp mo ay gumagamit ng 10 Amp na fuse, wag papalitan ng mas mataas na fuse dahil baka ma baliwala ang protection na binibigay ng fuse.

    Ang fuse ay may current rating na puwedeng dumaan sa kanya. pag lumagpas ka rito iyong fusible material nya ay matutunaw and then mapuputol.

    The fuse is there to protect your amp. Its designed to be the weak link in the electrical system and blow in case of short circuit or electrical problems. Simplest explanation is its there to sacrifice itself and thus saving your amp from damage.

    Don't change it to a higher rated fuse. It might not blow and your amp will be toast. :electricf:

    AW: mas bulky ang circuit break and more expensive.

    I know they also sell circuit breakers for cars. Saw some a long time ago. It is more expensive than fuses.

    BTW, make sure you install a properly rated fuse or breaker within 18 inches of your battery. Its to protect your car incase your power cable going to your amp gets damaged.

    rev your engine. if your alt is in good condition you should get up to 14 volts or close to it.
