that one is real easy bro...just take a flat head and gently pry it up and you'll be able to tuck it under.

looks like 4 gauge wire to me.

 

[vinnybones]

that fuse is there because if you notice, the power wire (SINGLE SILVER WIRE) comes in from the left, on the OUTPUT side, theres a smaller gauge power wire (BUT WAIT? THERES 2) which means you need to fuse each one of those NEW lines. That 0gauge power wire is running 2 amps, appearntly.

I know what a distribution block does

The point is a cap can be used as a distro block,

He should have a fuse under the hood. Never put the only fuse in the back.

And you don't need to fuse the new lines that close to the amp. Fused distro are for the looks. They serve no purpose other than being double cautios

isnt the reason the fuse is under the hood
so that if the line grounds out the fuse cuts power at the source and NOT 15 feet away leaving behind feet of live wire..

pretty much

Don't be lazy. Take off the panel, pull out the seat, and the back seat and lift the carpet. Run that b***h straight down the middle and put all your s**t back together.

 

[96sohccivic]

yea that fuse can be there u can put the fuse anywhere on the hot wire..........but just lift up the side panel and tuck the wire down in the carpet..

 

[cujo613]

You can put as many fuses on a hot wire that you want, but only one will work. Doesn't matter which one. But only one

No. Having your fuse more than a foot from your battery is a HUGE fire hazard. Think about it.

The fuse blows so that electricity stops after it.Any short between the fuse and battery are going to heat up your wire, potentially starting a fire.

Word of advise, get a fire extinguisher guy.

I know from experience and my 1989 Buick had/has the fire schorches to prove it. I was 16 at the time and did not even run a fuse like a moron. Thought fuses were for panzies? IDK, It was years ago.. hahaha
