Inline Fuse Holder

[V1G1LANT3]

So I bought this kicker fuse holder from a guy off here. It didn't think about it until I got it..will this be safe to mount in the engine bay? It doesn't have any seals to keep moisture out...should I just mount this one by my amp and get another one to put at the battery.

it wont hurt anything if u just fuse it close to the amp and not the front battery. ppl in my class super street 5+ alot dont run fuses cuz of the muti runs of 0, 2/0 and 4/0 awg. not everyone fuses in the front most ppl i know fuse in the the rear.

yea...^^^^..same here..most people i know run them on the back(trunk)...or rear...i heard it has to be 10 inches away from amp?..is this true?.or this not really matter..

i got 2 runs of 0 going to the rear. 2 fuses up front after the batt and 2 more before the rear batts. more fuses the better. fuses are a few bucks, amps are hundreds. you decided.

yep 6" to 10" is good cuz when a fuse blows there is a little suge of power that makes it past the fuse b4 the circuit is interrupted. having the fuse to close wont protect the amp from the voltage spike.

thats over kill having it fused twice once is satisfactory
