Yeah, a fuse doesn't restrict the current. It merely overheats and melts the metal on the inside of the fuse when the current gets too high, thus cutting the current.

So if i leave the inline 100 amp fuse(close to the battery) or replace it with one no lower than 60 amps, either way i'll be good right? The only difference is the wire (and my truck) will be protected sooner from catching on fire and with no power loss to my amp, correct?? Is Leaving the inline 100 amp fuse more dangerous than the 60 amp fuse or is it too close to really make a big difference?

Thank you

Rob

Always best to use the correct fuse rating. I'm guessing it shouldn't matter too much since you are using this fuse to protect the wiring, not the amp. The 4ga should take 100amps intact as the fuse blows.

I feel strange. I have deja vu and amnesia at the same time.
