It doesn't sound right though. I can't recall ever using a 1 amp fuse. Usually about 4-6 amps on the aftermarket radios.

That is what the specs say in the manual- Custom Auto Sound. I put an inline fuse to the battery should I also put one on the line to the ignition? If I am using 14g wire is a 7.5amp fuse ok for battery line? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | I am going to guess that the radio has digital pre-sets and therefore there is a feed from the battery. That would be where a small fuse would be used. That feed keeps the memory alive. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | It seems weird but I would do what the directions say. Like Nix I would think the small fuse would be the bat feed to keep memory & clock.
