Is this an aftermarket deck.

If so, just run a line from the batt.
I have to do it on my Alpine, otherwise my fuse will fry if I try to turn o nthe deck...

if the stock wiring is fused at 10 amps (thats what it is isnt it?) then you dont want to run more than that through it.. fire hazard. just run a new wire.

Exactly.

I believe it is either 10, or 20, cant remeber right now.

You go higher than that, and fire follows....
