Default Need help 12v supply Gauges

Hi all. Can u run 3 gauges off one 12v power souce? i.e stereo, wing mirror switch.
Do i have to use a seperate source for each gauge?
If i run off one 12v source with 3 gauges will it blow the Fuses?
Been scratching my head for days now!!

One 12v power source is fine,with a suitable rated fuse to cover the gauges.

A single 15A fuse would do the job to protect a bank of 3 gauges.
