Hey all,
Just a quick question, I have bought a JVC DVD HU (1 Din) and a JVC 7in Screen (also 1 din) how should I run the power to my screen? I can wire up the DVD HU in my sleep but I have never wired up a screen before.
Should i run a seperate +12 power from the battery or can i just tap the existing +12 power that runs to the HU? Also I have bought an amp, can i use the existing remote line to act as the remote wire to activate both the Screen and the amp?
If i have to run a seperate power from the battery for the screen, what guage wire should I use? what size fuse should I use?
I know I have the skills required to install this thing, I just need some more information so I dont torch my auto electrics by drawing too much current or not protecting it enough by putting in appropriate fuses.
Also any tips on a good place to punch thru the firewall for when I run the power for the new amp?
thanks guys!
