Default Dual Usb Install

Just bought a dual usb auxiliary socket to install. I already know where i wanna splice it in, what im not sure about is whether or not im gonna need to use a bigger fuse to handle the power? I'm thinking so, but wondering what others think. Thanks

Don't increase fuse rating. Whatever power wire you're tapping into isn't designed to draw more current, and 2x USB should only draw an amp max @ 5v.

I think that if you tap to the WHT/RED after the relay in the pass under dash fuse box you will be fine on volatge - no need to "up" the fuses.
