[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8184497, member: 540940"] A fuse should be sized small enough to protect the wire but large enough to provide adequate current for the component's (amplifier in this case) current demand. If the 30A wasn't blowing it was doing its job -- and it probably would never have been stressed unless you were blasting low frequency test tones. 60A is obviously going to allow plenty of current to flow, but the protection factor is much lower. 40 or 50 would have been a better choice IMO, but 60A SHOULD offer adequate protection in the case of a short.
