What size of inline fuse?
Hello all, I'm going to run a modified Uniden PC78LTX with an RM Italy 203P amp. So my original idea was to run 8ga with an inline fuse to a distribution block. Then I would branch out from there taking power to the radio and the amp (each would have factory inline fuses from here). What size of inline fuse should I be using coming off the battery and is my current idea a good one?

Greetings
I wonder what modifications you did to that RM Italy box. The fuse size for that should be 10 amps or less. That is a small box so it doesnt need much current.
Here are the 2 videos I did from hooking up my amplifier.

No mods done to the amp, radio only. Thanks for the videos.

Wind, thanks for putting the videos up. Great job! You may want to also put this under Amplifiers/Power Supplies as a quick reference point for others searching for this to make it faster finding. Thanks for putting it under this post to to help Mbertwell.

No problem
The amp I used in the video was a popular search term on Youtube so I went with it.
I can and should change it.
Thanx
