[QUOTE="DukeNut, post: 6991492, member: 604611"] You need to add the 2 amp's fuse sizes together and then use that value so you would need an 80 amp fuse within 18 inches of the battery. quoted form caraudiohelp.com Current Handling - The fuse needs to handle the power that will flow through the cable under maximum operating conditions (full power) and no more (ideally). To determine the maximum amount of current that will be needed you will need to know the current draw of each part of the system that draws power from the main wire. For example, if you have two amplifiers that draw 30 amps and 50 amps respectively you'd want to use an 80 amp fuse. [/QUOTE]
