Is there any risk running the remote wire into the fuse box? Say the one marked "ACC?"

Thanks

No. 94

 

Don't run it in the fuse box. If ur running a stock deck u can tap into the ACC wire on the back of it. Put a fuse on the remote wire.

uh you do know that would just be taking it from the fusebox anyways. and theres no need for a fuse on the remote line.

He probably means to do a fuse tap, and those suck.

Solder into the ignition harness accessory wire or preferably at the radio as was stated.

 

"He probably means to do a fuse tap, and those suck" Ditto that, do not use a fuse tap. 94

 

ehh, i don't see the point of fusing the remote..

It is a power wire, if it was connected to a HU the HUs fuse protects the wire and more then likely a 1A diode on the leads output.

Remember the fuse is there to protect the wire, even though the load, [amp turn on] may only be 100mA - 200mA, if there is a short it will draw whatever the wire can handle until it burns up. 94

 

its a good point..

i just see it as another fuse to have to check.. i mean doesn't the headunit protect that wire? If not than maybe i'll start putting fuses on it..

i did not even think of that. thanks for the info
