[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8418086, member: 658055"] Inline fuses are to protect the wires in the event of a short so the fuse blows instead of the wire starting a fire. To safely get the most out of the wire fuse it just shy of the wire's ampacity. So if your 1/0 AWG wire is rated 350A the highest you should use is a 350A fuse. You can go lower, of course. The fuse will just blow at a lower load. You can use any value fuse so long as it's lower that the ampere capacity of the wire. The fuses built into the amp are designed to protect it, though if you'd like it couldn't hurt using the rating on the amp for the run from the rear battery, that's fine. [/QUOTE]
