Edit: Some electricians/audio-installers can give you a close estimate by eyeballing it.

Edit 2: There is a power distribution block on the front left side of the battery. It may make a better place to attach the power wire than the battery terminal. Oops. Looked at the pics again and you are using the block. Doh!
So do I need the fuse inline thing?

Also, another question about the first wires (http://i.imgur.com/uEvPU0P.jpg)

Seems like those are coming from my center console, which I think means that they're connected to the Pioneer HU or they're coming from the aftermarket Polk components that are installed in the doors. Would those hook up to an amp as well? Would the four wires be for tweeters and two components? Makes sense to me.. haha
