What type of connections are the "power and ground"? Will I need to purchase anything else to hook this up to my car's fuse box?

The kit power and ground wires are bare. If you want to hook it up to fuse box you will need the wire ends that the fuse box will accept. I spliced them to my radio harness power and ground since they already are attached to the fuse box. You can probably find a help video on Youtube.

I'm no fuse guy but It does come with a fuse already on the power wire. I hooked it up directly to my car battery and it works perfectly.

The set of ground tabs is your Negative (ground). Normally, you'd directly connect the set of ground tabs to your vehicle chassis ground. Each fuse's fast-on (0.250") connector is Positive. You can use the ground tabs on this fuse block if needed, depending on how you're wiring everything.

You're going to need 3 sets of RCA interconnects and power and ground wiring, length is dependent on the vehicle you'll be installing this in.

You will need to find a way to get auxiliary power to it. I ran it over to the fuse box on the drivers side. You will have to ground it as well.

This is a power pick-up one line only, solution. Any item needing grounding can be grounded nearby it's location if you do not want to run two wires to the fuse block.. If its for a phone you may want to find a fuse location that is powered even when engine is off. Good Luck!

You don't ground the fuse block. Power flows through fuse block to thing being powered like lights or GPS or whatever. From there it goes to ground or via a switch to ground depending on how you wire it.

I would suggest Anderson Powerpole connectors for a quick connect/disconnect. They make them for all sorts of voltage/amperage ratings. I use them for connecting everything from my solar charge controllers to batteries; to connecting the winch on my truck.

You do not need a ground connection. Just a hot line and a neutral connection.

There is nothing to ground. Power (positive) goes in, then through the fuse(s), and back out to what you need to feed. Fuses themselves don't get "grounded".

If you don't know anything about electronics, maybe this isn't for you. You can cause problems for your car if you do it wrong. What I did was to find the wires to the cigarette lighter and connected the red wire to it and ground the black wire.

The unit comes with a power cord that you plug in to the cigarette lighter plug. I purchased a separate hard wiring kit to wire it in to my fuse box.Hope this helps.

I'd suggest buying a coax grounding block from any home improvement or hardware store as well as a grounding rod if you don't have any other already installed ground rod and 12ga or larger solid wire. It's a pretty standard installation - see video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuY-D9fQG_s . Grounding info starts at 5:35.

This item is made to plug in to a prewire factory outlet/socket. If you vehicle already has one, there is not wiring involved. It just plugs in and you attach with four screws. If you vehicle does NOT have the harness/plug you will need to purchase the both pieces and wire it into the light circuits. Probably best left to an expert.

Just an update to my earlier post. Each fuse has it's own circuit/power source. On my 5'er I just unplugged the existing wires and attached them to the terminals on the new panel.

As long as you have a power wire you can tap into and a grounding point. Your good. Everything comes with it. Worked perfect in my 72 vw bug

This is just a easy way to splice into your fuse box and get power. Wiring is dependent on equipment and how you would like to customize it.
