in line fuse question

I asked this question before, but didn't really get an answer. So I'll rephrase my question. I have a PPI amp with a 50a fuse and a fosgate with a 15a fuse. I'm running a 4ga wire from the battery to a distribution box, from the box to the amps I'm running 8ga wire. My question, what value fuse should I run in line with the wires?

NM, I doesn't really matter, as long as it is bigger then the amount of current the amp draws. If you have a short or a surge, it will still blow whether it's a 30 or a 80 amp. I believe 80 amp is the biggest blade fuse sold?
