200a ANL fuse should work, anything less will be ok.. cause you are protecting the wire.. U want a fuse that is smaller than the ammount of current the wire can pass..

lol thats what i though, with protecting the wire. But then the other day someone said you need to fuse it for the amp ratings....but since the amp has its own fuses/the wire can handle at least 200 amps i'll go with that, thx B.
