I haven't blown anything up yet
What are the chances.... more than likely you will not blow anything up, though,
I fit sh!t loads of different and strange equipment into vehicles for people that deploy offshore in defense situations (no, not the Army!!!)... all I can say is a fuse in the correct location for ALL devices is a must.. it has saved alot of heartache and my arse getting kicked very hard on several occasions. never underestimate the back luck of others
I agree, iv also fitted alot of funky stuff to defence vehicels and non-defence vehicels for deployment operations and the people taking delivery of the vehicels wont take them if basic stuff like fuses on all direct powed items arnt fitted. You can get a 50/100/150amp circut braker with a over ride so it for some reason you need to draw a few more amps through the circuit in a emergency situation you can.
