[QUOTE="f150_on_32s, post: 241849, member: 546238"] do not put an in-line fuse that equals the sum of the fuses in your amp. It should always be a lower amperage fuse. For an amp with 2 60 amp fuses, i would go no higher than a 100 amp inline fuse. I mean think about it. 100 amps is alot of current draw for a single amp. thats close to the rated max of 4gauge wire. correct me if i'm wrong but i believe max for 8 gauge is 60A. and 4gauge is 120A. The reason for the fuse is protection, and one that is too high is offering zero protection for your amp. [/QUOTE]
