If you dont fuse the power cable then you ar easking to start a fire in your car. It is REALLY unsafe not to fuse your power cable. The fuse should be no farther than 18" away from the battery.

I definitly agree. Those wires can catch fire!! Don't ask me how I know. I was young and dumb.

This question ranks right up there with "Why can't I just run the power wire through the door???"

any car audio place should have in-line fuse holders, just go pick one up, you may even be able to get the wal-mart special if you are a cheap bastard like me.
