Default ? about installing an amp

key in the diagram that came with the amp, it doesnt show a fuse on the 12v wire that goes from the battery to the amp. does that mean i dont need one cuz there are 2 fuse on the amp itself. thanks for the help.

See how many fuses your amp is holding and the rating on those. You want nothing less than that. Also mount your fuse within 1 foot of the batt.

Fusing depends on the wire size. Its a huge misconception that the fuses are there to protect the equipment. Fusing is there to protect the wiring and thats why under the hood, you should fuse your main power cable as close as possible.
