[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 5835931, member: 584344"] True. However, if the fuse isn't DIRECTLY after the battery, the fuse is pointless. Even still, the odds of that wire having a short is very low seeing how most people's extra batteries are next to their amps. I understand the theory, however I don't believe it's as important as most of you make it seem. For a long run, which is more likely to have a pinch point / part get exposed just because of the length, I agree you should put a fuse. But for a short piece, the odds of it grounding is really low. Especially in the trunk. If the wire is exposed, it can only get grounded on the amp's case, or... carpet. =| [/QUOTE]
