[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7994843, member: 576029"] it will come with a fuse. as neo mentions, you can usually just size for the wire - something that won't pop unless there is a short in the wire. changing those fuses is a PITA. locating that fuse holder is also a PITA, i just did it in an Astro Van. worked out, but ****. you will also need some extra 1/0 ground wire to do the Big 3 grounding. You can use 4 awg for the Big 3 if you keep factory wire in place (given your expected current draw). note that the Big 3 alt wire requires with another fuse holder - i've found getting a 4 awg amp wiring kit is good for that (silver wire is more universal - can be power or ground with some colored electrical tap for identification).
