American Terminal AGU-80-5 80A AGU Fuse 10X38mm Car Audio Power Safety Protect Glass Tube Gold Plated Radio AMP Amplifier
AGU style fuses are very common across car audio and are ideal for small to medium size car audio systems and offer them amperage ratings from 30 to 80 amps. Our AGU packages include 5 fuses that feature an attractive gold-plated finish that ensure the maximum current transfer. If you are replacing an existing blown AGU fuse our fuses are universal and will fit into any other manufacturer’s AGU-rated fuse holder.
The purpose of a fuse
In simple terms, a car audio fuse is designed to protect your expensive equipment in case of a short circuit somewhere along your power cable. What would be defined as a short circuit could vary but a good example is if your power cable were to become frayed or cut open and come into contact with bare metal it would create a very dangerous situation of not properly fused. We like to think of fuses as your insurance plan and we only manufacture the highest quality fuses using the best materials available.
American Terminal offers a wide selection of fuse styles and different amperage ratings and they all come in multi-packs so you have a couple of spares. So how do you choose the correct amperage fuse? The math is actually pretty simple you take the total wattage of all the amplifier(s) on your power cable and you divide it by the vehicle voltage which in most cases will be 12 volts. So for instance, if you have a 1200-watt amp and divide it by 12 volts a fuse rated at 100 amps would be ideal for your application.
