behind the radio, but if all they need is switched power, then you can just put a fuse tap in on the radio fuse.

now if you want them to turn on and off with the radio then you need to wire them through a relay that is switched closed by the amp turn on wire coming from the radio.

Reread your instructions and go by Best Buy or any shop that install these and have them help you.

The truck has no motor....? So these monitors are for watching TV like a small theater, because this is not a vehicle? Not a home theater--but a man theater. I like it. Brilliant!

Sorry for reviving this thread as it is a little old, but it applies.

I'm looking for a place to tap in for my sub amp that I am about to install. I need a 12v+ accessory lead (switched for on/off) that tells the sub when to turn on and off.

In looking in my LR2 manual, I'm thinking of using a fuse tap in either the 15A Rear Accessory socket (never used, how ever it probably isn't switched), 10A Audio Unit, or 30A Audio amplifier.

How does adding an accessory lead increase the load? Do I have to worry about which rated fuse I tap into or going above the rated amperage?

Another question...are all the empty fuse slots dead or are they powered? Any way to tell what rating they are? The manual keeps them blank.

Thanks
Kevin
