k im waiting for my pg x600.1 (600rmsx1) and my pg r4.0:2 (75rmsx2)...ill be using 4 gauges wires....i just need to know what fuses will be good for this setup...my pg x600.1 amp has no fuse on it so i dont want to blow it..its reccomeneds 60A fuse..and the other amp reccomends a 25A fuse and also has a fuse on it...

so what size fuse should i just in my fuse holder? will 60A be fine?

Usually you fuse for the gauge of the wire. But, since you say the amp has no fuse (did you check for internal fusing?) fuse somewhere between the 60A and 100A. An 80A fuse would be a smart choice.

for the second amp, use anywhere from a 40A to a 80A.

will 80 fry my amp though? cuz my pg x600.1 reccommends 60A...What should be in the fuse holder? im probably going to put 30A fuses in the distro block... but i dont know what to put in the fuse holder...some say 80 will be too much...so i dont know

your amp will only draw the current it needs. Did you check for internal fuses yet?
