Hey Ryan-in-Oregon, are you running a V/U or HF rig ?? Where did you plumb juice for your Ham install ?? Rather than hit the under-the-hood-to-the-battery route, I was going to try the power seat bus (Unswitched, fused at 30A) Virutally all 100W SSB rigs draw about 23-25 A peak. The task is simpler for a 50W V/U FM rig is somewhat easier, only needing about 10-12 A cont. Ther are many more options for a tap point in this case. Another poster some months back was going to hit the trailer light ports in the rear C pillar, but I can't imagine them being good for this kind of current. .............R
