is a usb hub that is powered from the computer too much?
It's not too much, buyt presents a different problem, potentially.
Many devices don't respond properly when connected to an unpowered USB hub when the computer resumes from hibernation.
Now,t his may not be an issue on a Mac. It's not my area of expertise.
But it is something to consider.

ok back to wiring
since i have to get an amp now too
is there another power supply i should be looking for instead of the P9100 that will power everything , if such a thing exists?
or do i do what ive seen other people have done
wire the amp with a wiring harness into the existing mazda connector and jsut use the power unit to supply mac/monitor/usb hub?
or i guess third option
wire amp and P9100 into the battery?
Third option is the best and most reliable.
Not to say that using factory wiring won't work. But the safest bet is wiring straight to the battery.
