In the distibution block, 80 amp fuse would be the way to go as well. Putting a 20 amp fuse on a amp with 75amps of total current draw (assuming the amp will require this current) is simply a waste of fuses.
After talking to a couple of friends who've done this a lot more than I have, what you say makes sense. You're right: the kit came with a 150A ANL fuse. I replaced the 150A with an 80A by the battery. I may put another 80A before the amp, but I was told its just a waste of money, as the first fuse should protect the amp from a short in the line.
I still need to put a 3A blade fuse before the crossover, since it doesn't have any fuses built into it.
Thanks everyone, I'm learning as I go.
