i have purchased a 0awg kit and i have a fuse holder and a circuit breaker, now usually i put the circuit breaker which has a smaller amperage at the start before the fuse holder. is this right?

Why use both?

Pick one or the other that has the correct size fuse for the application.

I agree, I would chuck the fuse, but if you want to be exrta carful you def. want the curciut breaker first because it has a smaller rating and would trip before you blow a fuse, saving a few bucks

I like the breakers. main reason is if you want to change something, put in a different amp or what ever all you have to do is trip the breaker. Not pull the fuse holder apart or disconnect the batt.
