Do I get just a basic 1amp fuse holder and run it inline? I dont think Ive seen any pics of the LC2i fused...everyone just uses the power and ground leads directly to the LC2i...
That's what I did. I had a 2.5A fuse laying around so I just stuck that in there.
I'm sure a lot, if not most people don't bother. And a lot, perhaps all, will never have issue from it. But small wires have even smaller insulation; a little pinch from stuff sliding around is all it takes to expose the conduit. Basically you are shorting your 8 ga. power supply wire to ground or the electronics in there. Yup, unlikely. Yup, you have a fuse at the other end of the power supply line. But I had already spent so much time with the install and building a purdy amp rack and making my wires look nice - it cost me an extra dollar for the fuse holder and a couple more minutes of my time. YMMV.
