Stereo And The Drive In
« on: March 18, 2008, 12:10:15 PM »
i was wondering what the best way to wire my stereo would be in the 55.
if we go to the drive in the stereo would have to be constantly on.
this would mean that the key is turned on would this kill the pertronix,
or would it be better to have the stereo on constant power and we just have remember to shut it off?
my fuel pump is on keyed power as well but will probably hook up a switch so i can manually kill it (kill switch)

I have my stereo hooked up to constant power, its in the glovebox. so when im not using it i take the faceplate off, wich then it doesnt take any power.

I do the same, its on constant power and I just pop the faceplate when I don't use it.

That's what we do in butterball.. unplug the coil.. my stereo (when it finally gets in) will be powered seperated.. the purpose for getting the nice marine battery. ;)
