I was wondering where most of you guys mounted your fuse holder for the power wire to your amp.

i mounted mine about 4 inches from the positive post. for accesibility and safety put it there, if you fuse it at your amp/setup your screwed if the wire touches your cars metal anywhere before that fuse.

Thanks for the replies. I was looking more for a specific location under the hood though.

look at your engine bay, decide where your routing your wire, then put it as close to the battery as you can without it being in the way of the hood closing or anything

the law says that it has to be within 18 inches of the positive terminal of the battery, and insurance claims investigators also look for that in the case of electrical fires, and wont give u any money if its mounted further than that. I have mine about 8 inches away, and zip tied it to the wires that go from the fuse box to the battery terminal to keep it in place.

yeah, to copy what everyone else basically said, the owner of an audio store told me that you don't want to do it more than 18 inches from the battery.

Thanks for the information! I just didn't want to go through the hassle of creating holes for the fuse holder to be mounted anywhere.

my fuses are attached to the battery terminals

when I did have an ANL fuse holder tho I think I had it stuck to the intake tube with velcro or something

i tried to upload a pic but my phone is being an a$$hole... anyway, mine is in a fuse holder screwed to the car's under-hood fuse box cover... it's like 8 inches away from the battery, it's a stable mounting location, water can't splash up there, it's easy to reach to change fuses, and all that good stuff... just use short screws so you don't poke a fuse inside when you put the lid back on and you're good to go...
