Just read the manual of amplifier what it says about the fuse
rating.

You really have no business giving advice in this group. Some day,
someone is going to follow your silly advice and get hurt or set fire
to their car.
The fuse near the battery in the main power wire is NOT to protect
the
amplifier, it's to protect the wiring. The reason is, if you don't
have a fuse in the main power wire and any part of it shorts to
ground, the main power wire will catch fire.
That's why you put the fuse in the main power wire as close to the
battery as you can, so that the part of the wire that isn't protected
by the fuse (the part of the wire between the battery and the fuse)
is
as short as possible.
The amplifier is protected by its own fuses. The fuse near the
battery
is ONLY for protecting the wiring.

Scott Gardner,
There is no such electronic theory of fuse protecting a wire.
NO electronic class taught such misleading theory.
The fuse is required from the power source to protecting the
electronic
device, and make sure that the current is not higher than required
by device. The fuse of car amplifier is only fuse you need to
protect
the amplifier from the battery. What you have is you got a fuse for
amplifier and another fuse for wi Sound very stupid.
IN other word, you have two fuse in a serial wiring. That is so
awful setting. I've never heard of connecting one fuse and after
another.
That is so stupid. YOu are so stupid.
