You have to have it with in 12 inches of the battery, depending on what switch you go with one or 2 wires will go to the battery from the relay and that's where u put the fuse

Has 14 g wire and my car audio buddy said that was fine and that 12 Gage was over kill he's a world champion lol so I trust what he says..

You should go on the crappy tire websight and grab the part numbers for what I was talking about and see if u can find them at a supplier in the u.s.
