My understanding is that breaker are slower to react then fuse(same value). So be careful

Thanks LP - I've done my research and they are no different then a fuse. Actually, I feel they are better. Once everything is wired 100% correct, the only way something can fail, will be due to user error.

It's for the trunk Justin. The cables are running under the car! She has both power and ground right from the Batt and has been like that for 2 years.

You are right. The ground resistance in the FIT trunk is quite high compared to what it is now "direct". Voltage difference was .40 - that is quite significant.
