: Hardwiring Power Source to Roady Options?

Hello everyone. I have been reading some threads regarding hard wiring power to a variety of sources, but am still unclear in general.

I will be installing a Roady in the E this weekend, and would like to hardwire its power. I would prefer not to wire it directly to the battery, but maybe to an existing fuse (one that is not on all the time). With that said, does anyone know which fuses I could use to accomplish this (if any) - and what is the best way to integrate another branch circuit to the Roady?

Thanks so much... :?:

The power plug on the dash comes out with carefull prying. Be sure to protect plastic dash by placing a thin peice of metal between the dash and the screwdriver. recepticle prys straight out. Tap into the wires using T-Tap etc. Drop glove box by removing retaing clips, take sub woofer cover off wire a female adapeter to your tapped wires. Plug roady in. Hide wires behind subbox area. You can tap into Aux plug using the same technique. This makes for a very clean install. Mount roady on top of sub.
