Fuses for distribution block.

your fusing the wire not the amp! the wires rating applies here.

this is what i have:
4g from battery to distribution block.
8g from distribution block to two amps.
amp #1: 4 channel with two fuses of 15 amp each.
amp #2: mono with two fuses of 20 amp each.
have 80 amp fuse at battery and two fuses in block of 50 amp each.
is this ok or can it be better?
thanks

you fuse to the system requirements not to the wire
the wire dictates a maximum fuse size of 125 amps, but since his system can realistically only draw 70 amps an 80 amp fuse is appropriate. Since the SYSTEM can not draw over 80A of power it stands to reason that if it draws 81 amps it has a fault and the fuse will protect the system (keeping a small fire a small fire).
at the distribution point you have a 30A and a 40A load and I would recommend fusing to the load. this would meet the overall system and individual loop power demands. the 50 amp fuses are a little over sized and I don't have issue with it though 30a and 40a would be better.
