What happens if you don't use the correct

[LIGHTBEING 10+ year member]

Size fuse or breaker? I think I should have definitely used atleast a 200a maybe ever 250 but I only have a 145. And sometimes on a few chosen song when I really bump it, the breaker blows. If I had the proper size, would I be having this problem?

Initially, I thought it was the amps being overheated and going into protect mode because if the amps shut off and I turn the volume down they come right back on.

but then another occasion the amps didn't come back on and I had to reset the breaker.

This only happened a couple times but I'm pretty sure it's not the amps and has to be the breaker size

I have 1/0 wiring kit and about 2000 watts

How do you determine the correct size? Size of the wire or watts or both. What would be the smallest size for my set up. And ideal size.

Thanks

I'm a newb, but I'd assume too big of fuse and you could possibly fry all your stuff, and too small of one would blow all the time.

Yeah, kinda figured that, just wanted to know for sure before I replace it. According to BCAE that max I should use is 325. But I believe 250 should suffice right?
