Does it matter where the fuse is located?

I know most of the time its located in the engine bay, but my ANL fuse holder is huge and I have no space in my already cramp engine bay.

Can I put this in the back next to the amp or somewhere in between. Are there any Cons.

Thanks!

 

leave it a few inches away from the battery you dont want a really high current running through your power wire at a long travel distance

 

if there is no room under the hood, just find a place in the car to put it.
closer to the bat the better

 

A fuse holder is extremely small, and I have a hard time believing you can't fit it in the engine bay. I would keep it in the engine bay so there is less chance your car lights on fire in the event of a short...

 

Can this be dangling or it has to be tied down?

My 150 ANL fuse holder is like 2 box of cigarette in height but half the size of the box. I do not have the round fuse holder which is smaller.

 

The fuse must be within 18" of the batt. and in the engine bay, [the fuse is there to protect the power cable] it is best if it is mounted but can "dangle", [depending on type of ANL fuse holder].

Even though basic, this is one of the best ANL fuse holders, [can be left "dangling"]...

The question is, what kind do you have? 94

 

Can you put this on top of the battery and not get any interference?

 

Yes you can, assuming there is room, I have done so more then a few times, because of the batt. hold down it is easy to fab up a bracket to hold the fuse holder, I have even welded a mounting plate to the hold down.

There will be no interference. 94

 

On top of the battery it is.

Thanks!
