Not cutting out the inline fuse and keeping two fuses in the same circut for me would not be in your best interest.

Electrical circuts can be very funny, for whatever reason your circut would trip, having two fuses could lead to only one of them blowing. I won't say it is likely to happen but but I can say it could be very poss. Why take the risk in damaging your radio, a quick snip it's gone a, a quick crimp you can put one right back.

Wrapping the wires and squeezing it between the seat cushions is a quick way solve your "where should I install it?". Awesome spot to get it done and get you on the road cruisin with your CB. I have done that, I didn't use the cig. adapter at that time. I kept the inline fuse and remebered how flimsy the casing for the fuse was, and how easy it was to alway pop it open. Just keep in mind that flimsy holder being wedged somewhere and how easy it could be popped open, hehe. Bring Marshmellows.

NoFan is right about the pottymouths they can take the fun out of the radio, but hey I'm a New Yorker and my wife and I have heard some real funny #%^@ when we are on the road. I carry a portable with us whenever we travel. I like having it I found it helpful. We like to have as much as we can when we travel, Cell phones can lose signals fast and I don't like to rely on that alone. I hope this was more help in getting your radio installed good luck.

I'm still newbie, trying to figure how to do the qoute and post, sorry, for any inconveince or confusion I cause.
