An fuse is very important to protect your vehicle and car electrics, yes you can connect your car amplifier without an fuse, but it is not safe. If an short happens through the power wire, this can happen if it gets cut or damaged when moving wires about or putting trims back on, or if you by mistake touch the red positive live wire with the black ground wire. At most, the fuse placed inline the red power wire for the car amplifier will burnt out if something does go wrong, preventing an electrical hazard happening. The fuse on the car amplifier itself is to protect the amp, the one you add onto the power wire is to protect the car. The fuse inside the inline fuse holder needs to be the correct rating fuse your car amplifier that you're connecting at the other end. For example, if your car amplifier draws 80 amps of current, then you should use an fuse close the that rating but above 80 amps. Using an fuse smaller than what your car amplifier amp current is, will resulting in the fuse blowing at high volumes. Using an too big fuse can cause the fuse not to function when something does go wrong, resulting in little or no circuit protection.
Adding an inline fuse is simple to add to your power wire. The top tip that you have to remember is the fuse holder has to be the closest to the positive terminal as possible to the car battery. Never install the inline power fuse all the way near the car amplifier in the trunk, this will not work. The closer the fuse holder to the car battery, the quicker it can react if something does go wrong.
An fuse holder will have an plastic removable cap, it will either lift up or screw off. Most fuse holders that come supplied with your car amplifier kit will have fuse already fitted inside. However, if you need to change the fuse for an more relevant one, then the fuse will simply pop out, if its an square style on it will be held with two screws left and right. There are two sides to the fuse holder, one side will connect onto an very short wire with an right terminal going to the positive terminal on the car battery, the other remaining end will go into the remaining power wire leading all the way to the trunk. You may need an allen key that is an special size to loose and tighten the screws. When stripping the power wire, make sure you only strip the plastic red insulation and not the copper inside too. The more copper the better the connection going to the car amplifier.
