[QUOTE="stones, post: 991066, member: 540734"] I understand what you are saying what you are saying john, but logically the amp should stop drawing current as soon as the internal fuses blow and the length of the 8gauge coming from the distro block will be short enough that the main system fuse by the battery would blow before the wire generated enough heat to burn (a 4foot length can handle 125 amps continuous without overheating the insulation)). If the the 8gauge coming off the distro was over 5 feet then I would certainly reccomend a fuse, but otherwise i don't personnally worry about it. [/QUOTE]
