12v outlet

im not sure what youre saying.. i think youre saying

the power setup i have is good now, but i should hardwire the power inverter and just use the 12v for charging and not hook an inverter up to it?

every add on i have now is powered on its own independent circuit excpet for the head unit, which is drawing power from the stock head unit harness

running wires to the back is super dooper easy.. there is all sorts of room behind those rear panels, i took some extra time to make sure the wire wasnt anywhere near my speaker wires

I'm just saying if you intend on plugging in an inverter in the back, consider using a different plug and socket (or hardwireing it in). The cigarrette plug will fail pretty quickly once you put a decent load on it.

As for your wireing, I think you did great! I went cheap on most of my runs -- I have a single 10ga wire to the cab. I may have three outlets there, but I have to remember that I probably can't run all three with high-amp loads at the same time.

gotcha, thanks, im always a little paranoid about my mods since im kind of learning as i go still...

as for the power inverter, the plan now is to open it up, solder a power wire from my 12v outlet circuit in place of the outlet adapter then ground to the frame, pull the 120v sockets out of it and flush mount them under the 12v back there.... but i still havent fully wired my offroading lights, auxiliary fan or underhood lights, so that project may wait a little bit... yikes i really will need a new battery soon.. my blue top is handling like a champ so far though, dont even have dimming with bass yet
