Unused fuse in battery fuse block - Use for amp?

[akamm47]

Hi All - I noticed there is an unused fuse spot in the fuse block on the battery terminal (assuming for some other model or something). I am installing an aftermarket amp for the stereo and need to wire an 8 gauge wire with a 30 amp fuse. Any reason I couldn't use this spot to wire in the amp?

Sure, I could wire an inline fuse block or something but (1) I want to keep an OEM aesthetic and (2) I come from the motorcycle world and am anal about wiring and hate the look of inline fuses.

Kind of unrelated question. Are you doing the 68 ohm method for your stereo install?

I have no idea what that is.

I’m installing new amp, new front speakers, and a DSP.

So you’re still using the stock stereo?
