How do you wire the OPUS PSU to the car?

OK, three connections need to be made...

1. Battery Pos
2. Ground or Battery Neg
3. Ignition

The first two are fairly obvious, but how do I tap into the ignition? Does this mean I can just tap into any wire that becomes "hot" only when the ignition is in the ON position? Also, is there a need for a fuse?

Well, yeah it did. Basically the stuff above. But they assume the owner has some basic knowledge of cars, which is obviously not the case here. ;p

Ignition just mean switched 12v. You can connect to any wire that has 12v when the car is on and 0v when it is off. I used the cigarette lighter.

You can also tap the power wire for the BOSE amp in the trunk if your putting it there.

You definitly need a fuse for the battery line, but since the OPUS shouldn't ever try to draw any real current from the iginition line, you shouldn't need a fuse for it, but it certainly wouldn't hurt anyting to put one on.
