Amp has no fuse rating. How do I figure it out?

So I have a Lanzar OPTI 4000D and I can't figure out what kind of fuse I need. Is there something I'm missing? I've looked in the manual, on their website, and went to like the 5th page of Google. No luck.

You fuse for the wire you are running not the amp ..its to protect the wire not the amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif if u have 1/0 cca use 250 if u have 1/0ofc use 300

Cool, thanks a lot. I've just never seen an amp without fuses on it. I already have a 300 from the last amp I was running, so I believe I'm good.

Also, you think I'll need any other kind of electrical upgrades with this amp? I'm fairly new to all this.. I have 1/0 ofc ran to the battery and ground. And a Power Acoustik 3 Farad cap.

Will do, thanks. It may be a little while before I get a battery. I just regrounded my alternator today.. Hopefully everything runs smoothly once I get it all put in!
