ok just looked up your amp... you should have 2x 25 amp fuses in it. so doing the math you should have about 432 watts of power to work with. That should be plenty of power for that kicker L5 10

how many 15 amp fuses?
take the number of fuses times the amperage rating of each fuse on the amp. Then multiply it by 14.4. That will give you the total possible output of your amp at 100% efficiency. No amp is 100% efficient so i usually take your number and multiply by .6 that should give you a close approximation of your power output.
example
and old school orion xtr 1400 had 6 30 amp fuses in it.
so take 6 x 30 = 180
now take 180 x 14.4 = 2592
now take 2592 x 0.6 = 1555.2 watts rms

nice i used to compete with a full sponsorship from orion.... was running 4 hcca 15's and 8 xtr 1400's. My best number to date was a 171.4 at iasca world finals in 01. Took second place.
