I would fuse it right at the battery terminal.

I, too, would fuse it. I would route the amp power wire along side the feed wire and install the fuse holder behind the battery, next to the other fuse holder.

There are no fuses inside the amp. If they are not mounted on the endcap that your battery is blocking the view of, it does not have one.

As stated above YES you need to put a fuse between the battery and the amp.

Just trying to stop you before you disassemble the amp. I know for a fact that there are no fuses inside the amp.

Before you think I'm truely crazy, the fuse design explains the above terminal block. Pretty simple and fits in small spaces.

DUDE!!! That is sweet!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

The Terminal Fuse Holder is $20 and the fuses are $16. These $$$ are from West Marine which leads me to believe they can be found cheaper other places.
