should be fine, the HU will have a ~10amp fuse in the back of it.

Long as there's a post battery fuse, or in a fault/short situation the full capacity of that battery could be dumped somewhere it shouldn't = fire & injury (or the battery exploding on a real bad day)

The amp wiring kit comes with a inline fuse which i would fit too which goes on the positive cable to the battery.

Would i need other fuses? If so where/what size/style please?

For my 12v system im using a head unit and car amp to power the speakers.
Just checking it would be fine to wire it this way. I dont see why not? Im making a box to mount the amp and head unit in so would be easier wiring like this if its safe to! Rem = remote on
