Any idea the correct fuse rating for a VW Golf Mk IV CD multi-player?
Answers:
yep 10mA.. the same as my Kenwood Black Star unit..in my Volvo V70 T5
10 mA as all car i.c.e head units are
15 amp is the corrct rating for any multi cd system
In general, a 4x40 W head unit work with a 15A(blue) fuse for the power stages, and a 500 mA for the memory.
When you are unsure about the power stage, start inserting even bigger fuses, (start e.g. from 10A till 15A, don't go beyond that rating, that's more than 4x50 Watts!) tune it as you would normally listen (volume, bass, treble, spekaer balances) and see which is the first fuse rating that is not blown.
When you don't listen to the unit near full power (max. volume and bass), you can't bang it up, the worst thing that can happen that you will use a smaller current rated fuse and that will somtimes blow accidently.
10A or 15A for the power line should do it. A 5A, or even less, for the 'memory' connection.
