[QUOTE="peterweiner, post: 6763338, member: 619471"] if you blow it, youll find out you need a bigger one, and thats not smartass talk. you really should match your inline fuse rating to the total amps on the fuses from your amps. example, if you have an amp that has 2 30 amp fuses in it, you would want to run AT LEAST a 60 amp inline fuse. if you were to say add another amp that had 1 30 amp fuse in it, then your inline fuse should be AT LEAST 90 amps. overkill on your inline fuse will not harm anything. you could run a 300 amp inline fuse, with the amps i just used as an example, and be fine. the ratings you put are correct, those are just explaining the maximum amount of current you are gonna get through that size wire.
