The whole point of a fuse is for safety purposes. The fact that your trying to escape using a fuse holder is probably even more dangerous because more than likely, the wire will fall out of whatever you've constructed and short out anyways.

Sad enough to say... but you're probably safer running no fuse and just have a solid uninterrupted cable for now. I would get that fuse holder ASAP though and then tap into that wire and splice it in there. In the mean time, just check the amperage rating on the wire, and amperage rating for max draw on your amp.

If your amp's fusing adds up higher than the wire's maximum amperage rating, then don't bother even hooking up your battery.

im not talking about a hack job, i was thinking crimp ons with the fuse bolted on, wrapped in electrical tape

I had to smach my holder once and protected it in wire loom and elect tape... but just for the drive home....

Fuse holders are cheap, dont cheap out

I sort of rigged a system out of nowhere, so I had a bunch of 1/0 wire with a 4 gauge fuse holder. I pretty much just took the metal inputs out of the plastic watertight holder, cut down the ends of the 1/0 guage wire to fit the 4g inputs, put the fuse on and wrapped the shit out of it in electrical tape.
