No, you do not fuse for the equipment being used, you fuse the wire to protect the wire not the equipment.

What size power wire are you running before and after the distro.

it depends some amps doesn't have built in fuse and only uses an in-line fuse.

TRUE...X2

still you base the fuse off the wire.. You DON'T use fuses that have a higher load than the wire.. otherwise they aren't fuses..

True but it is very rare and knowing the equipment he has i know this is not the case so there was no need to mention it and confuse the situation when it did not apply.

sorry maybe i wasn't clear enough

im putting 300A fuse after the battery 0g all the way to the dist.

dist block 150A and 100A and comes out 4g to the amps

So long as your amps are fused, and the fusing on the amps doesn't exceed the max amp capacity of 4 gauge(120-140amps), then I wouldn't even bother fusing the 4 gauge after the distro. From the look of it, your mono amp will be fused around 80-100 amps, and your 4 channel around 60 amps...if this is the case there's no need to fuse your power wire after the distro because the fuses on your amps will blow before the wire exceeds it's amperage capacity.
