[QUOTE="mikelaubach, post: 7311077, member: 632557"] IASCA rules indicate a fuse within 18" of a battery. You may not be trying to compete or anything like that, BUT the rules are there to protect the people and the equipment, so use them as a guideline. Any line that leaves a battery should have a fuse in it, near the battery. The fuse will not increase current, reduce voltage, or put a strain on anything (so long as it is properly sized and installed), so adding a little layer of protection for your equipment is a good thing. Although the amps have there own fuses, unless the run is VERY short from the battery to the amps, I'd fuse the rear batteries too. Pinching a large gauge battery cable can lead to a massive rush of current that leads to cool things right before it ends with bad things.
