10" Powered sub...there were 2 power wires....i wired both of them to different 30 amp spots on the fuse panel.. The sub works perfectly...but is that safe for the longrun?

 

simple answer, NO. Do it right and put it to the battery, The amp will work better and you won't fry your car.

 

ya if u put anything and i mean practically anything to audis fuse box u just start blowin fuses and other crap like crazy. their electrical is a pita....seriously[:@]

 

could not have said it any better.

 

Seriously!!!! One is the power in that should o to the battery, and the second should be the remote turn on which should turn on with your stereo.

 

Crap. My radar, boost gauge, control for my amp, and Sirius are all wired into my fuse. Im guessing i should change this asap?

 

low draw items like small lights and guages and conections having to do with the controling wire of any high draw item will be ok to put on there. It is just not a good idea to pull more than a few amps from the alread loaded down fues box. What you have sounds like maybe an amp or two, no big prob.

 

for proper operation u will need to wire it directly to the batterie with an inline fuse. just buy an amp wireing kit, any car audio store will carry them and they range from 50-100 bucks depending on the length and guage size of the wires. the ground wire can go anywhere though just scrape the surface to ensure a good connection. the best place to run a wire through the firewall is by the hood release cable, theres a rubber grommet there that you can just cut a small hole in and then u wont need to woeey aboyut the wire rubbing any metal and getting cut. just my 2 cents
