Amp and fuse holder question

[xJTmoney5T 10+ year member]

My friend bought a 2 gauge fuse holder with a 100 amp fuse. He put the wire in after he had all of his shit hooked up and blew the fuse. No stores around here have 100 amp fuses so he just bought a 150 amp fuse. Will it work out?

it depends on the max current draw of the amps.

I don't know what that means. Im using a power acoustik a3000db and a rockford fosgate 2 gauge wire. We're about to hook it up, I just want to know if it will work.

I have my a3000db wired at 2 ohms, and I have a 150 amp fuse on it, been going strong for months without it popping....

You should be fine, hook it up, and let it loose.

The only thing that can explain that is a short in the wiring...

Somwhere in this set up, the power wire is connecting directly with the ground, find that point and eliminate it...
