[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 2849630, member: 540940"] I disagree. If the power wire is capable of supplying a lot more current than the amp needs it makes sense to fuse the wire closer to the amp's max current draw. For example - running a 600w (60A) amplifier with 4 ga wire. 125A fuse would be fine, but I would suggest something 60-80. The reason being if there ever WERE a problem - there would be a much higher factor of safety with the smaller fuse vs a big one. [/QUOTE]
