Curious....
If the factory 8 awg/ 6 awg cable isn't fused, then why fuse a 1/0 awg cable?
Seems like the smaller cable would be more at risk. If GM didn't see a need to fuse this connection, then why would we? I have what I need here, ANL Wafer fuse and holder. a couple 150A and 200A fuses. Just curious why we should fuse it.

That's why I'm asking. The one showed being used is a small stud off the rail with a nut on it. Doesn't look very strong for a couple 1/0 cables to be grounded to. I'm gonna try to use the hinge bolts so I can really crank them down.

Don't forget to sand down the area to bare metal for the best contact.

Yeah, I've been into car audio for over 20 years. Since I got my first POS car. I figured if I had a nice stereo, didn't matter if the car was a bucket of s#!t. I turned it into a business for a while and then moved into home theater. I've been collecting car audio gear for a while and finally have the car to install it in.
