I would keep that kicker amp fuse as close to the amp as you can.I didnt see a fuse on the amp itself, as most amps generally do.Get the Anl fuse holder, and get a max of a 150 anl fuse , and do it right,Thats not a cheap amp.For another $20, its worth not damaging your amp.Most amps have a fuse on them, and you can run a fuse from the battery, and straight power wire in direct, as the amp has that protective fuse, and should work.I run to an AGU fused dist, block just for my pref, and i recommend it,as I also play with several amps, and makes it easy for me to remove supply,at the block where i am rather than under the hood, and will usually blow that fuse,(which is cheaper than the ANL under the hood) first .//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
