Default What size fuse ?

What amp fuse are you guys running on the Focal FDP sport amp ? Im trying to get some parts ordered so they will arrive around the same time as the amp. Also what size is the power wire that comes with the amp ?

Thanks

most told me 50 or 60, I didn't use one at all, I figured if they required one they would have either included it, or said in the directions to use one? but now I'm thinking I need to add one....

this one was suggested

Yea in the event the power wire somehow shorts out you want that inline fuse there to cut power from the battery.

Jacob at Focal said it is definitely needed. The 2 internal fuses are 25 each so he didn't give a specific number but said more than 50. I went with 60. There's another thread on it somewhere.

I went with a 60 amp circuit breaker. I figured it would be easier to reset it than carrying around another fuse if it should blow (such a bad thought).

I bought 2 extra fuses with mines, figured ill loose one and tape the other around the fuse holder.
