you can just run your 1/0 straight from your alt positve to the battery positve, you do not need to fuse it if you dont want to. the only reason to fuse it would be if you think your alt is gonna put out to much current, but on a stock alt, that owont happen. so there isno need to fuse it, and you can just run a wire straight from thealt to the battery positve. but leave your original wire on there too,

the only wire in your case that needs to be fused, is the wire running from your amp to your battery. If you don't believe that fat meat is greasy, then do it your way. We are here to help, but it's annoying when people ask a question and then post an answer to a question that they just asked.
