fuses

I'll be starting to install amps pretty soon in my ride and i was wondering if anyone has tested Voltage drop and without fuses? i'll probably be fused daily driving and have a way to bypass them for competitions... anyone got numbers? talking about 8krms

Yes you will lose a little bit, weigh the value of protecting your investment vs. that extra little bit on the meter. I for one would like to see fuses mandatory on all vehicles.

Yan ... i know how you work and how carefull you are in putting together your installs ... you lose dbs with fuses and i know you want to fuse but your setups are secure so i wouldn't worry too much ...
see you on the 12th bud ..

using 6kw rms 4 - 250 amp ANL fuses inline lost 0.5 - 0.7 dB this is what I remember from about 4 years ago from personal experience.. I know tehre are ANL fuse holders that u bolt on a ring terminal so that might be your best solution... it'll be safe and quick for converting daily/comp
