The safest way is to do as I said, also if you read manuals, they will tell you the same thing, power is last. If you are experienced, sure hook it up in whatever order floats your boat, but seeing as how the OP is obviously newb, the best way to do things is the safest way. He can learn all the bad habits that us exprienced guys have after he knows how to do things the right way lol.
Fuse? Never heard of it!
Do you even know what you're talking about? Did you even read any of the responses in this thread? Reading>you
Okay so IQ> than you. Yes I read the whole thing and at no time did anyone tell him that he should remove his fuse at the battery before he connects his equipment. This is the first thing you teach someone when you do this, it's easier to replace a fuse if something is wrong than your equipment. If you are going to help new people do not teach them the wrong way to do things.
Lol yes I do, and its not a family car only I drive it. I trust my install to not fuse. If anything bad happens then it happens its my fault
A buddy of mine got in an accident and did not fuse at the battery in the trunk and almost died and since then I always tell people to fuse. Most people really need to realize what they are dealing with before they try to do it on their own.
You are correct. So long as you have everything else hooked up before. Alot of times it is easier to connect the the fuse than the battery terminal, that is why I suggest to do it this way. when you know what you are doing you can cut corners but if you are ignorant, it is best to play it safe.
