That;s why there's fusing within the amps.

if the wire gets cut say on something an 100amp fuse is going to do more bad than good if you get needed a 50amp WHAT DOES THE AMP FUSE HAVE TO DO WITH SHI# ABOUT THE WIRE

the fuse on the wire is to protect the wire incase of excessive current draw the fuse on the amp is to protect the amp

use the proper fuse for the lengh and gauge of the wire and and use the same fuse in the amp as what it stated in the amps manual and thats all there is to it

I agree 100%... as well as the apparent widely unknown search button.
