The 6A10 diode is a good choice for this function. It has a surge
rating of 400 amps (!) and should handle anything your amp can throw
at it, and they are cheap too. BE SURE to check the surge spec for the
manufacturer you are buying. Occasionally a particular manufacturer
will fudge a spec and still call it the same part number. This is true
for all parts, not just the 6A10.
