    Since the thread is here i guess it doesn't hurt to ask. I wasn't getting much help w/ this little tidbit on the car forums i go to.

    Anybody have any advice on mounting my fuse holder in the engine bay? I know it has to be no more than 1 foot away from my battery preferably as short a distance i can get it.

    Should i just screw it in to any bare piece of metal i can find on the frame? My amp install kit came w/ some screws but they look like regular screws not the self tapping kind w/ the flat edges on the end. I wasn't really sure what to do to stick it to my engine bay.

    My fuse holder looks like this


    Thanks for any advice

    i never screwed mine down. i have it about 1-1.5 feet away from the batt with no problems. i just stuck it under a sheet of metal that was attached to my car. i will get a pic before the day ends.

    I had one of those in my ZX2 for the amp. I never got around to mounting it, I just set it into a spot close to the windshield where the hood covered when it was closed. I was looking at mounting mine close to the battery on the frame of the radiator. The metal is thin and you shouldn't hit anything electrical.

    the reason i never screwed it down was rust, leaving the screw in there will rust the area over time and the sheet metal will start to rust as well. plus its not like it's going to be moving all over the place.

    here are some pics.


    oops, it looks like 2-3 feet, ohwell works fine for me. its a 80amp fuse and my amp has 3x 30 amp fuses to act as a 90 amp so its fine.
    you can see that the wire is tucked under the flap of the fender.


    no more trunk space for me......


    i had to brace the subs so they wouldn't fly around and smash the grill up, as you can see there is already a bit of that happening.

    Cool, thanks for the pics. I'll look around and see what i can rig up. My old fuse holder was smaller and just sat in the engine bay along the side but i couldn't find anything like that for this one. I was thinking i might be abe to zip tie it somewhere. Maybe to another wire or something. I would also like to avoid rust if possible. I didn't even consider that untill you mentioned it.

    Wanted to get some more work in on this today but its raining a little.

    Damn, Must be nice cruising around w/ that. I probably wont be able to get my subs in until sometime next week, and that's only if i can get the damn amp wired up first. My parents place is an hour away and days off work are few and far between. Just gotta run the power line and ground then I'm set to hook her up. It would also be nice to find something to mount my amp to as well.

    I've never seen anyone fixing down the fuse holder but i spose you could get one of those double sided sticky pads for an easy solution
