What is audio fuse?
Fuse “A” is protecting wire “E”. If the wire is an 8g wire and the fuse is rated at 50 amps or less, the wire is properly protected in case of an accidental short circuit. Fuse “B” is protecting wire “F”. The wire is a 6g wire so it can handle more current than the 8g wire.

If there is a short anywhere along this length then it is very likely to catch fire as the first fuse will not experience the excess current.
