[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 4825986, member: 594758"] It depends. You want the fuse to be less than the maximum rating for the wire. 1 gauge is not the same as 0 gauge, most people and companies mix these up. Sometimes on purpose to decive customers. Usually when you see "0" gauge it's really 1 gauge. Which still plenty for most uses. 1 gauge is good up to a max of 250 amps, 0 gauge is good up to 325 amps. Depending on how much power you need for your amps I would choose the smallest size fuse that will accomodate your amps. Add up you amplifier fuse ratings and use that number to pick your fuse size, as long as it is less than the max rating of the wire. [/QUOTE]
