[QUOTE="crzybob77, post: 86271, member: 541733"] Got a couple of questions on fusing power wires. Firstly, if i got something like this ( [URL="http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/STIS48ADAPT"]http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/STIS48ADAPT[/URL] ) and put it on the end of a 4 ga wire to get it into my 4 channel amp that accepts only up to 8 ga, then would i fuse the wire like a 4 ga wire or a 8 ga wire. I was wondering because it is going to be a 4 ga wire all the way up to the very tip that has this adapter on it that goes into the amp. Secondly, I have a 4 ga main power wire and it is obviously fused near the battery, well, if i have a distro block that is not fused and the main wire is the 4 ga that is already fused, and then one of the wires coming out of the distro block is also 4 ga, then do i need to fuse that wire after the distro block.
