Audio/accessory power

["Julie Macfarlane" <juliemac@telenet.net>]

	The best way to do it is to use a relay. Take BOTH positive & ground (10/12
gauge) from the battery to this relay, and then on to the audio system
(switch only the 12 positive). Use the 12 ignition power to  key the relay.
This will solve several potential problems.
1)Drawing too much current from the ignition line
2)reduce the high frequency squeel from the alternator
3)avoid ground loops
	This makes sure you have clean power to run your accessories.
I just used a hazzard switch to switch the power for the radio and amps. A
standard VW part that disappears on the dash.
