18 AWG is way way way to small of a gauge wire to use for this, at a MINIMUM you need to be running 10 AWG, prob more like 8 ga ( get an amp install kit )

you do have a fuse with in 1 ft of the battery right? if not you can potentialy set your car on fire(esp running 18 ga)

2.3 amps max, your hard drive prob sucks more then that.

other then that it looks good.
