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.

Well, the 20 amp fuse is what came with the pioneer, so Im thinking it is right. What do you think about the distribution blockwith the fuses? I should have paid attention in AC/DC during college instead of drowning myself in Cisco...

Anybody wanna take a guesstimate of what the power draw of this system is? Do I count the pc and the inverter seperate?
