Do i have the power???????
Hey guys-
i have a few "accessories" in my truck (lcd, vcp,and a mini wireless camera & receiver for off-roading), and all run on 12V. Im kinda worried about the strain on my battery. I made a "power terminal" of sorts, so i could make all those power wires into one. Now my question is this, how do i run all of these without putting that much strain on my battery & alternator? how can you guys put all of those KCs on and still start your truck?
What would i hook the main power wire from the terminal up to?
Or do i have nothing to worry about?
Thanks in advance for your help.

As you can see from my signature I am also running a lot of "toys". I havn't noticed any problems so far. Even after sitting at the fishing hole with the stereo turned on for a couple of hours. I've been told that the towing package usually comes with a high output alternator but don't quote me on that, that is just what I've been "told".
With no more that you have I wouldn't worry about it.
