Thanks for the replies. A couple more questions and I will be closer to venturing out on my own.

1) What about those cigarette lighter laptop chargers that plug right into the laptop? Good idea or no?

2) Assuming I am wiring directly to the battery with either an inverter or a DC-DC, which would be the more efficient method for running power to them and the amp? A) Run a 2nd 8 gauge from the battery to the PSU and use the 1st for the amp, or B) Pull the existing 8 gauge, run a 4 gauge from the battery to a distribution block, then run an 8 to the PSU and an 8 to the amp? Is one more beneficial over the other?
