Where is your fuse mounted?

Where in the engine bay did you screw in your amp fuse? Or did any of you guys just leave it hanging?

mine is actually on my battery terminal... it's a rockford platinum maxi fuse terminal... pretty cool. Ummm.... other wise, I would say just get some small self taping metal screws and screw it somewhere out of the way. I think a popular spot is right behind the intake air box on the side of the strut mount.

Good luck

i just used self taping screws and found a place to mount it on the body on the left of the battery. remember that the inline fuse should be within one feet of the battery.

For my fuse, I unfortunately had to leave it hanging The damn kit I bought had it mounted at exactly 1 foot down the power wire, and unfortunately there is nothing within 1 foot of my battery that I can screw it to. So it hangs. I have been thinking of making a bracket or something to mount it to, but haven't gotten around to it.

i screwed it into one of the holes around the strut. seems to work perfect, and there is just enough clearance for the hood not to crush it
