    Default Is this the proper Add-a-circuit for the V1?

    Hey guys. I know this has probably been discussed a billion times but I found this item at my local auto parts store and since Im having someone hardwire the V1 for me I just wanted to be safe that I had the right part.

    http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...ier=32416_0_0_

    Is that all I will need apart from what came with the V1 and the direct wire cord it brought? I thought I remember reading somewhere that I'll need variety fuses or something? Im a complete novice at this stuff.. Im learning though so please forgive my ignorance.

    Depends, there are 2 sizes, if that size fits the fuse box in your car then it's the right size.

    4 Head LI (On Vette) (7.11 CPU Regular heads front, HP Heads on the rear)
    9500ci (On Vette)

    LI Quad (On Ice Cream Truck)

    LI Dual (On SRX, 7.06 CPU)

    ProLaser II, ProLaser III, Stalker LZ-1, LTI Marksman & Laser Atlanta "R" (looking for an Ultralyte LRB)

    Yup. I got the wrong size the first time around.

    I used this exact one to hardwire my Pro-73 the only problem I had was finding a good ground. Once found it worked great even turns on/off with the key

    You need a fuse to use along with the add-a-fuse.

    So my friend hardwired it. He said it brought everything I needed (the add-a-fuse and the mini blade 2 amp fuse.. even had an extra 2 amp fuse). I went to Autozone to get the parts and now I have to return them but Im going to enjoy saving the few bucks haha. Kudos to Valentine for bringing everything you need in the box!!

    I'll try and post some pics up later! Thanks again to everyone for their responses!!

    Radio circuits use 2 amp fuses. Using the 3 amp fuse in the accessory slot on the Add-A-Circuit should be OK!
