If it is REALY high power (50+ watts) then you should connect it to the battery with the fuse as close to the battery as possible.

You can replace the dash speakers by just reaching up in there. No need toremove anything.

Subject: [DML] Radio install question



Hello All,

I just got my Alpine CDA-7894 head unit to install, and due to the
"V-drive" internal amp, it requires a direct connection to the battery, or
some suitable high-current draw positive power source. Besides connecting
directly to the battery, can anyone suggest an equivalent connection point
in the electrical panel/fuse area? And don't worry, the lead already has an
in-line 20A fuse.

Also, do I need to remove the binnacle to get to/replace the front/left
speaker?

Thanks,
