ok when you say 300 +/- does that mean if i add what each amp takes like my ppi amp takes a 160 amp fuse, and i just add them up ?

the fuse rating is just incase something goes wrong on an amp, normally an amp will only pull about half of its fuse rating. I meant by +/- give or take a couple of amps.

just to keep things simple you will be fine, like others have said
