[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8703787, member: 679555"] Fuses should be based on the amplifier and the manufacturer's recommendations for it. You said a small 2 channel pioneer amp, but they make a lot of them. What's the model number? The new amp you mentioned recommends a 5 AWG cable with 65A fuse. 6 AWG is only good to 55 amps safely. It's worth getting a new wiring kit, I'd get either a 4 or lower depending on your plans for the future. When these car fuses hit their rating they can last as long as 10 minutes without blowing, so don't worry about the fuse teetering on the edge of its peak amperage draw. It should be relatively close for safety. [/QUOTE]
