[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 3289219, member: 570956"] It won't hurt anything, but it won't do anything either. Adding multiple fuses to the same wire doesn't add extra protection, it's just pointless. If the wire is carrying too much current, the fuse will pop, no matter where it's at. The reason people recommend putting it close to the battery is so that if a severe short does occur and large amount of current do pass through the cable it will only be passed a few inches before it is cut out by the fuse blowing, instead of heating up the wire running all the way through your car. Cliff-notes : don't do it [/QUOTE]
