remember that fuses are mainly there to protect against shorted wires.


I am pretty sure you are saying what I am saying here -- but here is a clarification or addition:

Fuses are not there to protect your amplifier. They are there to protect your car.

If your amplifier goes into melt-down mode and shorts out, the fuse won't help the amplifier. But what it will do is keep the wires feeding the amp from getting so hot that they catch your car on fire.
