Ok, I was checking out the fuse box and noticed these flat 80 and 40 amp fuses. Does anyone know where I can purchase these fuses? I thought I would wire my amps to the fuse box in the empty slots that are available. I will probably need a 20 amp fuse.

Thanks,
Krs
 
If anyone can help, I'd apreciate it. I'd like to wire the amps tomorrow. If not, I'd have to go straight from the battery.

Thanks.
 
for an amp you should be going straight to the battery, run one power wire big enough to handle the load of all the amps. put an inline fuse with a foot of so of the battery then run back to a distribution block to branch of to your amps. with the distribution block, make sure its a fused one.

I just thought it would be neater if I could utilize the fuse block.

If a mazda tech sees your connection he would most likely void the electrical warranty on the fusebox.
 
yep.


best way is go straight to the battery. chances are the power wire you need for your amp will be bigger then the power wire going from the battery into the fuse box. and if thats the case you'd have some trouble.
