Indeed! I have been hobby-installing stereos for the last six years- I
have many, many damp-proof inline fuse holders (even some for 0 gauge
cable) in the toolbox. I have no doubts as to the quality of the Rockford
Fosgate gold-terminal, up to 100 amp fuseholder, but is this sound (pardon
the pun) theory? One of these on the fan's power line? What amperage? (87
5kt)
