[QUOTE="MutantDreams, post: 8247726, member: 641308"] But according to the Mecp study guide ( basic) you fuse based on the wire size. The battery fuse is to protect the wire. Fuses on the amp will protect the amp. If there are no fuses, you can fuse based on the amps current draw. Realistically you can fuse it at whatever you want, I can't make you do anything. If your amp only pulled 60a, a 80a fuse will protect the amp the same as a 300a fuse, but I'm just telling you what I would do. Fuse it at the wire rating, and let it ride. To;dr Fuse however you want, just do more than amp draw, that particular fuse protects the car/wire and nothing else. [/QUOTE]
