Review on πŸ”Š DB Link ATM5A Mini Amps: Compact and Powerful Audio Amplification System by Steve Quinn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ideal for fuse taps

Vehicle: 2005 Subaru Outback Limited (H4 Automatic) to power the dash cam. I chose 5A fuses because the dashcam (Viofo A119v3) uses the USB 2.0 power standard, which is very low current anyway - no more than 3A - and I needed more safety margin than a 15A -Fuse that the couplers came with. me. The wire gauge I'm using for the power supply can easily handle about 15 amps, but there's no point in taking unnecessary risks. Installation is difficult, I accidentally bent a faucet when trying to connect it to the faucet. I recommend the rocking approach if you're having trouble - press one corner, then the other, and keep the fuse relatively flat. I had to use considerable force. Adjustable tongs may also work. They have been installed and have been running for a few weeks now so appear to be the right size to allow adequate power to flow to the camera. At least I have spare parts in case something goes wrong.

Pros
  • Fuses
Cons
  • Available in black only
