[QUOTE="West, post: 7618035, member: 638770"] You always need to make sure you have a fuse that is [I]inline with the cable from your battery[/I]... The fuse you use should be equal to the sum of the fuses that are located on the amp itself. The fuses on the amp are a "last line of defence." You have 3X40A fuses on the amp itself so a fuse higher than 120A should be good, but never exceed what your wire can tollerate. Since you like amazon, the items in the "Frequently Bought Together" section should work, its a 200A fuse and should be fine, but personally I would try to get a fuse closer to 150A.
