wouldnt melt the cable, fuse would blow before that, as long as the fuse was correct! I used to use OE looms all the time for these bastard Alpine units, never had a problem.

when u use the internal amp in the alpine units they have a high current draw (more than the standard cable rating) and COULD cause the cable to melt when drawing a lot of current.

noooo...you DONT want to do this, hence why it has to be a seperate power connection :|

just run if from the battery, through the gromet behind the battery (behind glove box) and run it through to the stereo cage :) its not recommended that you do the same with the negative, but while your at it i would wire the negative with some decent cable back to the shell/battery - it wont hurt or nout, but atleast you know that there is a good connection etc :thumbs:

running a live wire is easy.
just attatch the wire to the battery put an inline fuse as close to the battery as possible and run the wire through the bulkhead where the loom goes into the car. (down underneath the header tank area)

Took a trip upto the car audio centre today.The guy there told me i would have to run a live direct from my battery to power this
