I am tapping Into an empty fuse slot to run a horn rated for 20 amps. Do I use two 10amp fuses, one for each slot?

you should use a 20 amp fuse on the sid that you are hooking the horn on to.

40 to 80 amps. tube style. when you go to buy, they will recommend the fuse style you need. just remember to order the right amp size. your amp will recommend what size fuse to use.

It depends on the fuse you put in line - but there is already over 20 amps of draw. (Kind of pushing it already) probably better with 2

I use it as a step down for my stereo amphlier. It was made for the Japanese market. The fuse on the unit you are looking at is 5amp. That is all I'm qualified to say.

im using a 80 amp gold fuse seems to be working good now for my 1000 watt amp powering two 12" speakers but i think u can go lower to mabey even 20 amp idk

Yes, you will have two fuse receptacles once you plug this unit in. The original 20 Amp goes in one receptacle and a new fuse to protect whatever you are powering off of the new wire. Make sure you have the fuses in the proper receptacles and that the fuses are properly sized for the application.

In theory you could, but I don't really see the point.The entire idea to addding a high note or low note horn would be the mabnufacturer did not opt for a full range sound. I would check the horn relay and fuse ratings to see if the rating will allow enough current for the combined draw of all three horns. If not, I would recommend you dont do it.

Those are REALLY high draw devices that don't really work out on a 30 amp fuse, and the fuses this box take max out at 30A. For those types of things, I would run them right off the battery, I wouldn't bother with a fuse.... Kinda like a car starter, where there's no fuse. If you feel you must fuse them, there are some "Maxi Fuse" type things that might work, but I have no idea what the current draw of either item is. This is for the depth finder, the ignition, the horn, the lights, etc.

Yes, the maximum power this device will handle being passed through safely is 10 Amps. So do not put a fuse larger than 10 Amp into it. The source being 25 Amp is no problem, and should be higher than you plan to consume. (i.e., you don't want to put a 10 Amp device on a 5 amp circuit as it will be starved for power.

You must use the same fuse rated for that slot, (10,15,20) the second slot use a lower Amperage (5, 7.5). Put it like this, I have a Bel STi-R plus, 2 escort lives connected, and ALP dual, on three sets of 10A and 5A. They are all running at optimal power. Remember, the slot where the blades are is the spot with the fuse you pulled from your panel. The second slot acts as a safety for your devices that your tapping. Don't go crazy with that slot because if a surge happens you can fry your things. Like I stated above 5 or 7.5 is sufficient enough, even with all of my things, I never went over 5A.

For one. But I hook them both up and have them on a 20amp fuse and they work fine.

It means that the connecting wire AND fuse assembly is capable of sustaining a 10 amp fuse. This does not mean that you must have a 10 amp fuse, however it does mean that you should not go over 10 amp rating. So any fuses from 0 to 10 will work fine with this is adapter. A 15 amp adapter for instance would have a " thicker" wire.

Yes. If your old system had a relay, then you should use one with this otherwise you could burn the contacts on the switch. The switch provided in wiring kit is light duty and open. Depending on size and amperage-draw of your horn, you might want to look for something more durable.

I used a 10 amp fuse and it worked very well. My amp meter never pulled more than 5.5 amps in any mode. Hope this info helps.

You'll need to first see if and where there's space under the hood to install the unit. You'll also probably need to change your fuse to your horn to handle the higher current it pulls. And yes, you'll likely need to cut some wires, and get out your soldering iron

It's recommended for 4 AWG & 8 AWG. 6 AWG is right in the middle so it shouldn't be an issue. One side should connect to the battery and the other side should connect to the power on the amp. All you have to do is unscrew the end caps, put your wires in and tighten down the allen bolts on both sides. THIS DOES NOT COME WITH A FUSE. So you'll need to buy an AGU fuse to complete the connection 40, 60, 80, or 100 depending on your amp. The fuse is placed in the center of the holder. Hope this helps.

The wiring is small. Smaller the wire smaller the amp rating. The wire was 14gadge and I used a 15 amp in line fuse with it. I only used it for the wolo horn.
