Okay, so I have the benz's dash completely disassembled as I'm in the process of putting in a new one that does not have cracks. I'm also taking advantage of this opportunity and just wired the harness for my car stereo. I am also installing an amp in the trunk for a subwoofer and have a question I'd like to run by some of you...
The Amp is an old sony that has a 12V pos, a ground and a remote cable (aside of the RCA in's and the speaker conections).
I have the ground terminating to the same ground on the car as the head unit (per suggestions by install manual) and I have the amp remote wired to the harness properly...
Where is the best place for me to hook up the amp's 12V positive?
My first thought is to use the same constant 12V that my stereo uses, but that would require a splice and is a really thin cable... Instead, I'm inclined to run it straight to the battery instead. And maybe hook a fuse in there as well. But, would the alternator create noise? Or, do I need one of the noise canceller-thingy's too?
Thoughts, suggestions?
