I have a PA Gothic series amp with a 40A fuse, but my kit has a 30A fuse, is this a problem, or should I go get a fuse that matches?? I'd really appreciate some help, thanks.

I suggest ugrading the kit fuse to at least a 60 amp fuse. If the fuse is lower than the rated amperage fuse on the amplifier, the main power fuse will blow and it will be very frustrating. Using a 60 - 80  amp fuse is normal for the inline fuse to the battery.
