What size Fuses???

I am getting ready to install a complete carputer sytem in my new car and i had a question about what size fuses to use. What wattage spec should i be looking at when deciding on fuse size for a particular amp. For instance one of my amps is the Polk C300.2. It's 4ohm wattage (wich i will be using) is stated at 150watts per channel so a total of 300 watts. At that rating i would want about a 25amp fuse.

But what is the other wattage spec? Total Dynamic Power (all ch. driven) 850 watts

At that rating i would need a wopping 70 amp fuse for one amp!

Now this is my first system i am setting up in a car, i am a home audio person. So those numbers may sound normal for you but a 70amp fuse for one amp sounded excessive to me, but i could be way off. ANy help would be great.

On a side note, my ps for my carputer is the opus 150w... what size fuses have you guys been sucesfull in using for hooking that guy up.

Thanks
