accept up to 4 gauge power and ground cables. Determine from the chart below

Like all audio components, the RUBICON amplifiers must be fused near the
prevent a fire in the event of a shorted cable. See the chart below to determine the
correct fuse value.

The RUBICON amplifiers are fused with an automotive-type or Maxi-fuse. In the
event of a blown power supply fuse(s), replace with the correct value fuse found in
