8 or 10 gauge kit?

Is an 8 or 10 gauge kit good for a 200W amp? 17ft sounds long enough? Also where can I buy a 20A fuse?

I went with an 8 gauge in my system, for 2 100Wrms amps. I bought it from KnuKonceptz.com

I paid 22 shipped, thats with 20 ft 8g power, 3 ft 8g ground, 15ft RCA w/remote, 30 ft speaker wire, block w/fuse, wire ties, assorted connectors and a neato STICKER!!

But yes I would go with 8 gauge.

Is there a difference between the glass tube (AGU) and spade/blade/maxi fuses? Or is it just a matter of two different standards?
