[QUOTE="Valdosa, post: 8362887, member: 664931"] OK, I'm confused. How/Should I run a turn on wire from the battery to the amps in my car? I've got 2 amps & a car PC. They each will have separate lines from the battery. For the amp switches, I have two 20amp toggle switches and the car PC has a 25amp toggle switch mounted to the dash. Essentially what I have right now is this.

I have available a cigarette lighter that was installed behind the stereo system back when my dad owned the car for his GPS. Should I just use the positive off of that? It's 5 volts. I'm using 12 gauge speaker wire for it. (All I have). Help. I'm confused.
