Fitting Amp wire to Battery or fuse box

Post by midcornwallccowner »

Hello , I wonder if any could please tell me where is best to connect a positive cable for an amplifier , The Battery clamp (with having to drill it maybe ) or onto the Fusebox beside the battery where the main positive feed goes in , and bolt a round connector onto that Thanks

If its a very large current, the battery terminal is best. Don't forget to include an inline fuse of the appropriate rating.

Take the useless +ve earth clamp off, replace with a conventional one and bolt it to that. Or take a feed from the engine fuse box. I have for my headlamp relay ... converted to dual bulb lamps. I'll get a pick next time the bonnet is up.
