Sounds like a terrible idea. If I stuck 10G into an SPL machine I WOULDNT want it burning to the ground for .2 db.

its really all personal preference. i dont use a fuse on my 4g and its been in there for quite some time. the only way it would catch fire is if the line gets cut or it gets disconnected or some random odd. i understand its common. the fuse should be at the amp rating or slightly above what your amp is rated at. (ie: you amp pulls 200amps u need a 200-220). even tho its unlikely if u get a surge of 240amps through the line the fuse will blow but the amp would still be fine with the jump. i have my 8g line fused. it only blew out when i was a dumbass and didnt know how to properly hook wires up to the battery
and hey if u dropped 10g on an SPL setup thats the difference between 159.8 and 160
louder = supreme!
