How to wire in External DVD drive and Screen
Hey guys,

I just got off the phone with Opus and they said that if my case is going to be in the trunk and I am using a external dvd-rom/cd drive that is in my dash, and my touch screen, I might lose some power in running the wiring from my trunk to my dash. So I was wondering how you guys overcame this problem? Thanks guys.

Power the drive with an independent regulated power supply. Not sure what kind of voltage(s) your drive asks for but if only 5V, visit this site: http://www.e-preview.com/products/ch...pter/index.htm .

In all of my reading, I have seen many a person just run maybe 16 gauge wire to the dash. I don't think you will have much problems.
