Need New Inline Fuse

Hey guys recently my FH-44 fuse that i got off Knukonceptz burned out. I don't remember if I had a 100A or 150A fuse with it I couldn't find nay numbers on it. Anyways now im looking for a new inline fuse and im looking at the KNI-11 on Knukonceptz but I am not sure with what Amp fuse I should get it with. I've got 2 12 inch Sound Solutions Audio GCON subs, and an Audiopipe AP 1500.1 Amp in a Yukon Denali.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Is that the only amp you have?
Does it have any internal fuses? If so, add those up and get an inline fuse that is the same or just slightly larger of those. so if it has 2 50 amp fuses, get a 100 amp inline.

If no fuses, does it list a max current draw in the specs anywhere? If so, get a fuse around that.

Yes, I dont believe it has any internal fuses. It came with an inline fuse holder but I never used it and I'm sure its way underated anyways. Theres no numbers on it. I watched this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCUlHNgfje0 and at 2ohms it pulls 45 amps, at 4 ohms it pulls 80, and at 1 it pulls 130. So the total of those should be my new amperage?

Are you running it at 1 ohm?

If you are, then I would get a fuse at around 130, and have this fuse right near the battery.
Just remember this fuse it just to protect the power wire, not the amp.

I would check all your wire to makes sure it isn't kinked or shorted anywhere.
I would get another fuse and try it again, if it pops again then you either have something in the wire shorted, or there is something wrong with the amp.
