[QUOTE="gtsnissanb, post: 488530, member: 5952"] I'd imagine he means the 12v on the lighter the wire on that would be far too thin I'm afraid plus not all lighters are permanent lives Hence why I use fuse taps you just find a permanent live on the fuse board and stick in the tap easy then it's got it's own fuse running from a good 12v, I am 100% and then some certain that it is fine for a sub! As that's how I wire caravan charging and rear light power systems on twin electric setups Also all the faffing about getting a live running through the engine bay pass hot and moving components then making sure nothing is catching rubbing it is frankly a waste of time when you can just open the in car fuse box locate the live plug the wire in and it's done No big ugly candy red chavvy wires, no risk of water getting through the grommet into the footwell (providing Nissan sealed it well enough:o ) no rusty live cable, works especially well if you doing a wire tuck [/QUOTE]
