I’ve finished wiring up the relays and it seems to work, so now it’s time to install it in the car. I’m going to have to use a new power source for the head unit, probably directly from the battery and I just wanted to know if I should place a fuse on that line. The head unit already has a fuse, should I add one immediately after the battery anyway?
