[QUOTE="TheUnderFighter, post: 7747928, member: 631325"] @ op, for what it's worth, you fuse for the rating of the wire. So for the 1/0, assuming it's CCA and true to size, I'd use a 250a fuse. I guess going under that with a 200a fuse isn't so bad. As for the 4 gauge, it's usually rated at 150a, so, I'd use a 150a fuse. Using smaller is ok, but if the amp pulls more current than the fuse, it'll blow.
