[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8309933, member: 540940"] It's a rough estimate at best. It takes roughly 2x the rated current to blow a fuse instantly. An amp fused at 50A COULD draw 60, 70 maybe even 80A dynamically w/o blowing the fuses. However, if you average out actual current draw of an amp playing music at full volume it is likely 1/4 to 1/3 of the fuse rating. Which all goes back to the original question and that there's not a clear answer. [/QUOTE]
