I've been researching 4-channel amps to power my speaker pods and a small sub. Kenwood is not really a brand I gravitate toward but this amp has caught my eye for several reasons and gets rave reviews. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KACM3K4/Ke...4.html?tp=35782

An unexpected bonus is that it uses only a 10 gauge power wire and draws just 22 amps. That's within limits the stock harness and fuse block can handle, particularly given that I'll be running all LED lights which will cut down on current draw. Eliminating the hassle of fishing a fat wire through the harness snorkel to connect directly to the battery is appealing. What do you electrically savy folks think?

Thanks gents. I think you are both spot on. Given that I don't tend to listen to music at high volume, I think it "probably" would be okay. In this case, probably isn't going to be good enough so I've decided to go back to my original plan of fishing an 8 gauge wire from the battery and going with a different amp.
