Fusible link
When changing out my system from my 90 crx to my 89 I had to take apart the fusible link in my battery wire and I lost the glass fuse that went in the link. Here's a picture: the metal circle connects to + battery terminal and the battery wire from the amp goes in the end, and the very end of this link in unscrewable where a fuse goes in.

My question is, what type of fuse do I put back in there? I know it's glass but I don't know the amperage. Can I use it w/o a fuse? I do right now but I'm not sure if that's gonna give me problems. I've been to the auto stores and no one seems to know exactly what goes in it.

First I never seen a honda with a fusible link. Is that fuse holder powering your soundsystem?

Second that... My '88 Escort had fusible links (why my dash lights didn't work) but I haven't seen a Honda with one that I can remember...
I bet you're talking about one of these:
As far as the fuse that goes in there, that's completely dependent on your amp...

Yes it is, the fusible link is used exclusivley for the battery wire running to my amp. And the fuse is more like a safety precaution, but my main purpose is that w/o the fuse the connectors don't touch and my system cuts off until I can push them back together. But when I had a fuse in there it never happened. As of now I have them taped together w/ electrical tape but I liked the fuse better.

Then it's not called a fusible link. It's called a fuse holder.
Regardless of what it's called, as stated above by me: <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">As far as the fuse that goes in there, that's completely dependent on your amp... </TD></TR></TABLE>.

Re: (B18C_EJ8)
Indeed, the 'end' of the fusible link is the fuse holder (it would seem obvious) but the fuse holder is on the end of a fusible link

yes that is exactly what it is for.if i am understanding this correctly, you are pushing the 2 ends of the fuse holder without a fuse inbetween....if this is true do not push the 2 ends together without a fuse in hte middle! do you realize that your wire will melt if the wire has a short? a fuse protects the wire from that happening, thats why everything has a fuse.
if you have any size of a system, get a fuse holder like shown above with the gold ends. from what I see, the fuse link or whatever u want to call it, is way too small.

No, you're mistaken. Please see definition of "fusible link" below.
http://www.google.com/search?h...title
Now that you've turned this into a total pissing match because you're misusing terminology, you have a fuse and a fuse holder.
So again, I ask you, how much current is your amp drawing? That will dictate the value of the fuse that you will put into the fuse holder.

Re: (nsxxtreme)
Wow, this is retarded. Just go to Circuit City or Best Buy and buy a goddamn fuse. 60A. You'll be fine. If your fuse holder doesn't accept the kind of fuses they carry, then just buy a goddamned fuse holder.
You sure take that "safety precaution" very lightly.
Stop being a dick to the people that are trying to help you out.

Re: (B18C_EJ8)
This is a fusable link
http://www.alanhorvath.com/54c...s.php
Once blown it has to be replaced. The whole dam thing is no good. I not sure who told you it was something else. Go to any cc or bb or any stereo shop and tell them that you need a fusable link. There going to look at you real funny and tell you the same thing that we are preaching to you here. Face it. Its not what you think it is.

i really hope this is some joke that you think its alright to not use a fuse on a system. if its just for your car, alright, let it burn down, but i hope u never touch other ppls cars and tell them its ok tonot use a fuse.
why wouldnt you use a fuse in the first place? They are cheap as hell and saves ur car if there is a short .
if answers to that is "well it keeps blowing", well if it keeps blowing, theres a problem with the amp or the actual wire itself(or too small of fuse for the wire).

No, its really NOT ok. What if you DO have a short? Your car would be f**ked, but be my guest.
Seriously why would you not use a fuse? Its what, maybe a few bucks? This is exactly the type of thinking that makes manufacturers make people like me(that actually know how to install things RIGHT) pay people at shops to install stuff for me.
My house hasn't burnt down b4, does this mean I should cancel my home insurance?
Not using a fuse that costs a few bucks because your car hast burned down yet is one of the most stupid ignorant thing I have heard.

Don't try and lecture me about fusing when you know nothing about it.
you're missing the whole point of what i said. chosing your wire depends on which amp you're going to be running. Then you fuse the wiring according to what guage it is. saying your fusing depends on your amp is an incorrect statement and can lead to unsafe installations (like yours).
and i know im not the only one that does this...hehehehe
and no...ive had my car for years, with no fuse(s)...its ok..
b18c_ej8...you might see a thread about whatever you talkin about...and i bet you its not gonna be my thread....
it depends on the amp how big, your cables and fuses gonna be.....
you cant just use a 12 guage cable on a 8000 watt amp can you...

Re: (EBP_SI)
This thread is starting to go downhill. I just need to know what amperage glass fuse I need to put in my fuseholder that is part of my fusible link.
I found my amp, unfortunately it is one for sale so no specs are really listed:

It sucks, but it gets the job done.
Don't know the gauge of my battery wire but I will check as soon as I get to my car.
