[QUOTE="knukonceptz, post: 1308047, member: 548221"] The main thing that fuse is for is to protect your car's interior in case of an accident. A live wire sparking from being pinched could set your car on fire with you in it. Closer to the battery the better as there is less unprotected wire that way. As mentioned after the firewall is not great since if it should rub there, the circuit is not protected by the fuse. Adding a second fuse is not a good idea if it is not required. Normally you will have a voltage loss from the fuse itself (about 0.3V sometimes higher) SO by having the second fuse you are also lowering your total voltage I would leave the fuse where it is instead of adding another fuse. Its not the best option, but think its better then the second fuse [/QUOTE]
