Fusing question

[Kenyanbasshead]

Right, so my rear batteries are literally 10 inches from my amps. The cables are run ontop of mdf and carpet so no possible shorts. Would i still need to fuse eventhough a short is literally impossible?

Front batt to rear batt is fused at beginning and end.

anywhere where you have a battery to amp, it should be fused

If it can arc and catch the car on fire you need a fuse

Just off the battery is best!

I don't fuse anything. Never had a problem yet. Knock on wood... I'm not spending all this money on good welding wire and then putting some fuse in the way.

I have to use them. They dock points and it might totally fail inspection

Fusing will protect if your amp has a catastrophic failure and wants to catch fire. Not really a huge risk, but not really a big investment for some extra safety.
