I installed on deck with a video screen and it has been a nightmare. Three fuses have been blow and there is constant feedback to the sub. Even thought it says 12v on the deck how much power do these lcd screens really use? Any what is the best way to hook it up? I am thinking I have to run a seperate 12 gauge power line directly into the battery. I ain't too knowledgable about these things, is there a fuse box or junction I have to put between the battery and the deck to prevent the battery from blowning the deck up?

If you don't have to much experience,you shouldn't be hooking up a deck. I would have a professional or a person with some knowledge do it, why have an expensive deck and than blow it.

What does that mean? I'm trying to give you good advise. Your money do whatever you want.
