the size of the fuse should match your power draw. You don't want too large of a fuse because this is a fire hazard. For example you dont need a 20 amp fuse on a 100 watt amp, if your power cable shorts on something, about 12 amps would be shorting on something before that fuse would blow, easily causing a fire. My suggestion is if you are unsure of your power draw, get the lowest rated fuse you that you think can handle your system first. If that works without blowing, then stick with that, or even downgrade.
