I have two 4 gauge power wires coming directly from my optima battery so I should have more than enough juice to power it all. I just worry about my alternator when my lights are on, my heater is cranked and I'm sitting idle at a stoplight 
I also plan on using the M2-ATX to send the remote power signal to my amplifiers, but I was reading somewhere that you need to connect a relay in between. Did you have to do this? |
I didnt use a relay. I have my PC rigged up to accessory power to toggle on the M2....basically when I turn my car on (accessory or start) the carPC starts up and comes out of hibernation. When i kill the power the M2 does its thing and keeps power to it enough for the PC to hibernate.
I've sat at lights, heat on, music cranked and never had a power problem, and I draw a lot of power.
