FWIW, I ran a 200W Alpine amp driving a pair of 12"s off my rear fuse box supply for 3 years with no issues. I know other members have done the same. It really comes down to how much power you're pulling, so you may wanna determine that first.

the roadie said:I think the audio junkies are nuts and posted in another thread about my conclusions. There is 125A of constant 12V available for the rear fuse block, but the secret is (discovered by tracing schematics) that MOST of the fuses back there are not fed by that 125A fuse or the big red wire!
Most of the fuses are fed by other wires in the wiring harness, such as from the ignition switch ACC or RUN circuits, which have their safety fuses in the FRONT fuse block. I've drawn 50 Amps from that stud for recharging a deep cycle battery I use for my expedition fridge. I think the audio guys are right to be cautious if they're putting in 1000 Watt amplifiers that draw 100 Amps peak pulses, but for the typical 30-40 Amp loads like a lot of lights or small amplifiers, the rear feed post should be fine. Just carry a spare Megafuse.

Blckshdw said:That's only about 17 additional amps (watts/voltage). I was a little concerned about hooking my system up that way when I started looking around the OS, cuz a lot of the audio guys said not to do that. Then I saw this post. (carries some credibility I'd say)

fr34kout said:So many people don't seem to understand, the number and size of subs makes absolutely no difference in how much power an amp draws. The only thing that matters is the impedance you wire the amp to, and the gain. If you take the same 1000 watt amp and wire up a single 10" sub at 1 ohm, and then later change the system and wire up 2 15's to 2 ohms on the same amp, the amp will be drawing less power.
Not meaning to be a dick, just a pet peeve of mine. Running more subs or bigger subs makes no difference on the draw of the amplifier unless the impedance is changing.

Both my passenger side tires were hit, the guy at the other end of the street had his driver side tires hit. Next door neighbor had both their cars egged. Only have on street parallel parking
Tires had less than 7,000 miles on them
Voymom said:Nope, I didn't stop to think about pictures yesterday lol. Hubby and I spent about 8 hours gardening, and setting up the pool. We were exhausted by the time we shaved the hatch handle thing. I will grab pictures this afternoon.
dmanns67 said:Thats understandable. Did you buy your own hardware or get the kit from SS Rear Window Handle Delete Pkg SSRWHD
Voymom said:Nope, just got some bolts and washer's from my husband's work....cost us nothing lol
I will eventually take the bolts and washers off to paint them BLACK![]()
