Okay, I guess then it's really not such a great idea to use the wire harness +12v to power the contraption. I know next to nothing with regard to electricity and wiring.

I'll get my *** to Radio Shack and pick up some 10 or 12 gauge wire then and wire directly to the battery +. Is there anything I need to take into consideration other than a fuse, when wiring directly to the battery then?

Regarding the fuse: How large of a fuse would I want to use with the Opus 150W? Would I be correct in the assumption that I would require a fuse in the range of 12.5A?

Thanks..
