[QUOTE="CarAudioAddict, post: 109157, member: 545743"] N2audio is correct. The only reason for having a fuse next to the battery s to protect the wire and the car. Most decent amplifiers have built in fuses to protect the amplifier itself. Some people (read: stupid people) will forgo the main fuse all together. Needless to say these are the people who end up with a pile of melted metal and fabric where they last parked their car. The Fuse in your main power wire should be no more than 10 inches away from your battery. In a system like mine, where you have the battery in the trunk/hatch of the vehicle, I have a fuse off the battery and another off the alternator. This way if a short occurs the entire wire will be disconnected from everything and there is little if any chance of fire. [/QUOTE]
