[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 7163422, member: 567719"] You fuse for the wire, not the amp. You could fuse that 1/0 as high as 300A and be fine (provided it's true 1/0 OFC). But if you feel better fusing lower that's fine, it won't hurt anything provided you don't go too low. That's assuming we're talking about an inline fuse for the 1/0. The fuse for the distribution block should be 150A or less because it's fusing for 4 gauge wire. Why do you think the amp will draw 60A max? Is that what the amps internal fusing adds up to? Also your running a single 1/0 to a distribution block, then a single 4 gauge from that to the amp? [/QUOTE]
