[QUOTE="Tungsten, post: 178437, member: 546239"] Is there any reason to run such a large power wire direct from the battery rather than feed the head unit off of the wiring harness inside the car [B]*IF*[/B] you do not intend to use the internal VDrive amplifier? The amp can be disabled through settings in the head unit, so I don't see any reason to run 10ga wire just to supply constant +12v to the head unit if you're running outboard amps anyway. [/QUOTE]
