[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7436710, member: 629234"] lol, simple, the fuse will blow if you exceed the rated current by x amount for y amount of time. you fuse for the rating of the wire near the sorce for safety, amp protection, if any is a by-product, and also for safety. if the amp blows, it will pop the fuse. no fuse could mean fire. not fusing the power cable will cause alot of heat/melting at minimum, but can cause fire and battery explosion. i've seen an 8ga melt the inside of a truck and wire harness in seconds. anywhas, buy the fuses and go with the ratings. wat will happen is the fuse will pop by you using more current than the fuse can handle. your amp has 120a fusing, so it will probably pop that 100a when you turn it up easy...
