Message	I am a do it right guy too, but there is already a wiring harness running and already power switching implemented cleaner than you can. Running extra runs all the way to the battery for ~1 amp is ridiculously sloppy work. Are you going to leave it unswitched and rely on manually turning it off? Garbage. How are you going to cleanly make it switched? If you want to run 1 heavy wire to the battery and wire in a new fuseblock for amp, gauges, electronics etc, along with a relay for switched power... Sure. Running a bunch of wires through the firewall and into the bay is worse than running a bunch of wires to the radio harness. Antihero Putting AMS garbage, and $500 ebay wheels on a Z is like dressing a Victorias Secret model in a Walmart dress and Payless shoes. You're embarrassing yourself.
