so the blue and blue/white wires on the metra harness don't need to be connected to the head unit blue/white wire? Is the Blue/white wire on the head unit harness only to be hooked up to a REM amp wire?
If so, I will just use that, and worry about the powered woofer when I get it. |

Figured this would be a good thread to run off of. Basically same question " I am looking for an alternate source for 12v power".
I am looking for a solid 12v constant to tap my CarPC into. I was going to run off my Pioneer HU existing 12v constant and switched, but think that I would be maxing out that line and may not be smart. I want a clean 12V constant source without having to tap right from battery. Off hand, is the cigarette lighter a 12v constant source? Also, for the 12v switched, would it be okay to run off of the HU or would there be a better source for both?

Oh gosh now were getting beyond my auto electronic knowledge. Looking into it I think a 20amp inline fuse close to the battery may be sufficient.
My device is a CarPC running a Mini-Box M2 ATX 160w power Supply Smart Car PC Power Supply - 160 watts output - Ideal car Power supply for operating Core 2 duo, Celeron, AMD systems - ATX, 6-24V wide input range - Intelligent shutdown controller - ON/OFF motherboard control - Survives vehicle engine cranks - Battery deep discharge prevention - High efficiency, 160 watts output - "Anti-Thump" Amplifier remote control - 15A automotive fuse (mini-blade) - VIA, P4 and AMD CPU support - manufactured by mini-box.com - ROHS compliant version So in retrospect, I will be running 2 power wires, from the battery, one for constant and one for switched. On the switched I will use a relay.

Yessir,
Going to pick up an inline 15amp fuse today and some 10-14 ga wire. Hopefully get this puppy wired in tonight and will document how it goes in a new thread. Thanks Big per usual.
