To be safe have a fuse for each amp. Better to buy a 20 fuse holder then blowing up your amp. Or have an online fuse in you main input into the dostrubition block with a higher amp fuse will work too.

ALWAYS FUSE WIRE before GOING THROUGH METAL, i.e firewall. You have that

Now for each amp, well, it can save your amp, if for some reason it draws to much power it will pop that fuse in line to it vs the one up front, since its bigger, its not there to protect the amp but the car from burning down. If the amp has fusing on it, dont really have to worry much about inline fuse for the amp
