Well to be honest I am a total newbie to all things bow tie and so searched the board and found an excellent FAQ by a 'longhorn man'

the hei faq

In this thread someone asked if they'd need an inline fuse and he said yes, not knowing anything about the subject and being anal retentive I thought yeah that makes sense if the module were to present a dead short a fuse is easier to replace than a bunch of wire with it's insulation melted off

I'll just wire some 10 gauge (the wire on the hei looks like 10 or is this overkill) directly to the fuse block and be happy then.

Thanks again,

Brian
