What are the fuse amps? I too have 1200 watts currently installed, but would like to check to make sure I'm not putting the electrical in any danger.

Chaparral you have any issues running those 1200 watts? Did you Add a battery or a capacitor or anything? Any lights dimming? I'm asking because I'm interested in running about the same amount of wattage as well and need to know if I should add a cap or battery. Hopefully not!

I do have a 1 farad cap, but have a 2 farad sitting in a box for an install one day. I don't get any light dimming that I know of. Next time I'm in the dark I'll pay close attention. I do keep an eye on the Escort 8500 amp readout and it drops from 14.5 to 14.3 when it's turned up. I would install a cap always with this many watts.
