How many watts is it? Take whatever it makes, add 50%, and divide by 12. eg. 1000 watts * 1.5 = 1500 / 12 = 125amp fuse.

I think they are class D's, and I doubt you would EVER blow a 200A fuse for those 2x1200W's.

Just my thoughts, as usual. It may also depend on the impedance you're running, whether your wiring can handle the current, whether you're going to do SPL runs, and whether they have their OWN fuses. (if not you might wanna run one cable per amp, and fuse them seperately near the batt.)

find out what the max amperage draw is on these amps, and you would want the combined amp draw x1.5 and thats the inline fuse you need, i would think you need around a 300amp ANL fuse at least

The lanzar 1200d has a 90amp fuse on it. Thats from what ive seen on the net specs for it.

The Jbl 1200.1 has 120amp worth of fuse. 3 X 40amps fuses.
