My understanding is that the fuseholder(near the battery) has less to do with the amplifiers and more to do with power cable, viz : the fuse is protecting the cable/battery... and not the amps. Correct? and the inbuilt fuses in the amp would be taking caring of the requiremtents

so with a 150A fuse, If I use anything smaller than 4ga, it will cause it to short?(keeping in mind that car batteries would easily produce enough power to blow the 150a fuse)

So using the above method of 35 sq mm cable, could I safely use the 150A fuse?

And if I run this wire into a dist. block and then use smaller wire to each amplifier (individually) would I be at the risk of shorting or other such issues?
