Buy a separate fuse holder that goes inline with your amp wiring. It
should be installed within 6 inches from the battery. Now you should do
this with any amp install no matter what, but I suggest adding another
inline fuse, or a fuse block near your amp. This way you have extra
protection. I always display my Fuse blocks near the amp, and show them
off, because they are usually gold plated. You can pick up these fuse
holders made for car audio at most car audio stores, or through some
catalogs. I know Parts Express has them, MCM Electronics, and
Crutchfield. But Crutchfield is your most expensive. Make sure you use
the right gauge wire, I suggest using 8 gauge or higher. The lower the
gauge the better the sound.

DML,
         Today, I ordered a JL stealth box that should be in a couple of
weeks. I'm installing the amp under the passenger seat. Question is how
did you guys route the +12vdc battery power to amp under the passenger
seat? The fosgate amp requires a separate 30 amp fuse.
