Re: [DML] Radio install question

No, but if you have a short in the wiring, you'll be a lot happier if 
the short is AFTER the fuse. If you have a short in an unprotected 
hunk of wire, you'll reinvent the toaster, and probably set your car 
on fire (or at least get a lot of smoke). 

A fuse in the wiring is not to protect the radio, it is to protect 
the wiring.
