In-line fuse size to a Blaupunkt Reno without amp?

[grahamkissack]

Just installing my new in the box retro Blaupunkt Dearborn thats exactly the same as a Charleston SQR 26 with four lines out to each speaker. I dont see a fuse listed in Bentley to protect the stereo and car. Any thoughts on what size to install?

Thanks!

If there is not one built into the back of the radio.

5A

Thanks...I'm suprised it would be that big....that suggests 60W power draw before it blows?

I agree, most radios have 5amp fuse on the switched power lead, much lower on the constant power, typically 1amp
