[QUOTE="smgreen20, post: 7436543, member: 560505"] I don't care what anyone says, but you are fusing for both, not just one or the other. You need to figure out the max amperage of the wire you're using (gauge/length) and the total of the amps current draw. Fuse for the lower of the 2. If your wire rating is the smaller of the 2 then you need bigger wire. Granted a lot of amps today have internal/built-in fusing, which is where the industry has turned saying that you fuse for the wire, truth is, you fuse for both. Another reason why the gauge of wire you choose is important. [/QUOTE]
