Well find out how many amps each thing you want to add to that fuse and then go up in amps. THE BETTER thing to do is run a power supply from the battery or power distrobustion spot and only run a wire to the on key 12v thing and have that operate a relay to turn on and off all the stuff you want to run, on the load side of the relay. That way you can just put in a 10-20 inline fuse on the power supply form a power sorce and not worry about fire or overloading anything and you can run just about anything or as many things as you want.
