power supply question easy 10 pts?

i have a pyramid ps52kx power supply and its powering a car amp for my room(dont comment about the set-up it works) but its drawin gto many amperes my question is can i just put a larger amperes fuse in so it wont trip?

Answer:

Nope. That would be unsafe. Fuses are sized for safety. Oversizing a fuse will cause the supply to overtheat and possibly catch fire, of not weaken the components and produce less current than they do now. What you want is a power supply with more peak power.
