Your manual should say what rating fuse is recommended.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

This link should help, http://www.bcae1.com/ It has a power deisgn assistant. From the main page use the menu on the right and go to #16 (wire) scrool down, or better yet read down untill u get to the System power design assistant, read directions and have fun. hope this is what u were lookin for.

300 amp fuse at the battery, and 2 150 amp fuses in the distro block. Those fuses protect the wires, and the fuse on your amp obviously protects the amp.
