[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 7164406, member: 628688"] For this situation you can disregard the alternator's output. It has nothing to do with selecting your fuses. Select fuses for the max current draw of the items in the circuit. For the fused distribution block put in a 60a fuse. You're right about that. For the inline fuse on the main power line, put in whatever you want as long as it's at least 60a. Fuses are cheap and you can buy a new one when you have your second amp installed. When you add the second amp you need to add in the fuse size that amp requires to get your main fuse size on the 1/0 gauge wire. That's all there is to it. [/QUOTE]
