    fuse er' up !

    NO, not needed for operation . . . BUT, mind this, if a power transmission line is not fused and it arcs out or shorts a FIRE will burn your investment to the ground . . . Please, for a small investment, its well worth it ! Also, remember to use the right size wire for max power output ( go one size bigger if its close 4 awg - 2 awg - 0 awg are NOT uncommon) and fuse accordingly ( your wire is usually the weakest link, fuse to high in the fuseblock "you burn", fuse to low, you blow fuses but "dont burn"( them fuses can be expensive too ), fuse for accurate power max output and ratings you :) )

    Yup this was all done during the HO Amp upgrade. Followed the wiring diagram, upgrading the wires and I install a circuit breaker inline with the amp to battery.
    You asked about what else was going on, added bucket seats from a civic, they were free and they look great. They're brown, but seat covers will solve that.
