Bud, If you have two fuses, and the neg. lead fuse blows for what ever reason, now your radio may have it's return to "Gnd" via the Co-ax.....not a particularly good idea.......(Your vehicle roof headliner may get very hot)
I suspect that in some countries they may still be using "Pos" Gnd and if the PS is floating then a fused Neg. lead is appropriate I'd use a fuse in the + (Hot) lead only.
