Hello, I have an Audiobahn amp that has 3 30 amp fuses in the back of the amp. The only question I have is what amp fuse should i use for the fuse holder located near the battery. Do I add the total amps of the ampifire which would be 90 amps so does that mean that I should have an amp fuse up to 90 amps in the fuse holder?

u always want to put a fuse slightly smaller then the ones in the amps. I would recomend a 70 or an 80.

Use a 100 amp fuse or a similar sized circuit breaker.

you dont use a circuit breaker, if you do that you might fry your sh*t if too many amps are going through it

Yeah, thats what I thought, will use an 80 amps fuse for the fuse holder just to keep my Audiobahn amp out of trouble. Would hate to fry the Audiobahn amp. Thanks
