[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 5908155, member: 584344"] The fuses are supposed to protect the wire from taking on too much of a current, getting hot and catching on fire. The cause of this is grounding, completing the DC circuit and allowing full current to flow through (or as much as it can pull, always attempting to take more.) The fuse 6" from the amp is useless. The power source is at the battery. If the wire is grounded, the fuse at the battery will pop and the circuit will be broken... and your amp itself has fuses in it. As far as alt-to-battery. It's not necessary. But if you want to, put it as close to the alternator peg as possible. Again, the closer to the source, the better. [/QUOTE]
