If your amp seems sufficiently "protected" with 2 or more fuses... I'd say your inline fuse should exceed your amp's total fuse amperage. Just to echo what's already been said, that is :)

So yeah, 50-60 amps on the inline fuse is plenty. I think I'm running a 60-amp fuse right now on mine... and I believe it's 8-ga wire.

Then again my amp's overall output is suspect <_<
