    Circuit breaker question.

    There is plenty to read on the net about fuses, breakers and fusible links. To protect your wiring, use fusible links in critical areas, use fuses at the correct voltage and current or use electromagnetic breakers that are not voltage dependent.

    A case for mil spec battery terminals

    Compare crimping, NAPA crimped with special tool and mil spec. Assurance of quality from the counter salesman was "That ain't going nowhere". They will be installed, but I'm not terribly happy with them. Also received the correct battery terminals.

    Michigan Vic-1 Owners

    Sorry I couldn't help you more Paul. The VIC-1 system is not reverse polarity protected and the TM says to use the MX-7777 with it. A careless installer can blow the amplifier in a hurry.
