hey silly question but i wanna know what you guys think? ok for starters what size fuse should i use for my install. i was thinking of 2 100amp fuses since there are gonna be 2 amps. and should i go with an ANL type or should i use an AGU type fuse.

Well, since AGU only comes in values up to 80A, I'd say you're stuck with ANLs.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

add up all the fuses you have on your amp(s) (ex: if you have (3) 30 amp fuses, I would put a 100 infront of it... always have a little more than you need...)
