[QUOTE="SPL Blazer, post: 5719392, member: 587873"] I have yet to see any high quality Kenwood amps, I used to run some mono ones years ago, and love their headunits, so I'm not gonna bash Kenwood at all. The Old School RF Punch and Power series amps were awesome, now they're all pretty much the same over rated junk. The newer RF power series amps come with a 500 amp fuse, I didn't believe it til I saw one at a show last season. Stinger and other companies sell ANL fuses with ratings up to 350 amps, I've heard of 400 amp fuses but have never seen one. I only use my 4000 watt amp for competitions so I don't waste money on fuses for that one. As far as the 100 amp fuse in your system, I'd say your fine with it. The fuses before or at your amp should be what your amp recommends, but the fuse on your main line can be as high as what your wire needs. The purpose of a fuse near your battery is designed to protect your power wire, not your equipment. So for that wire you can use a fuse rated for more than the total of your equipments fuses, but not for more than your wire is rated to handle. [/QUOTE]
