I am looking to add an amp for a footwell subwoofer. Where is the easiest and best place to pull power from? I really don't want to run a power lead back to the battery. If I have to do that I probably will scrap the whole idea.

Did the same as Steve mentioned ,I used small positive cable but larger than the stock wiring gauge to the battery.
This thread has been real handy as I know little about subs/amps and learning here. I have the Hella 4 fuse aux block ,no point in overloading the somewhat minimal stock fusebox afterall. |
