Powering small powered subwoofer off of 9 relay digital electronic control center ??

[thoekstr]

I picked up a small low-profile powered subwoofer (Pyle brand......cheapo, I know, but I'm not an audiophile) that I want to mount to the front "kick panel" wall under the console in front of the driver's knees on my 2300V. Can I pull the 12V positive and ground right off of the easily-accessed and clearly labeled power studs on my " 9 relay digital electronic control center"?? Is there any harm in pulling power for a small amp from that control center? It is just SO much easier than getting power from back at my batteries, but perhaps it is too good to be true.
Any input would be greatly appreciated - Thanks!

Whats the peak current draw of the amp and what gauge cabling is supplying the BUSS bars?

The amp is only 85 watts RMS, and I believe that the wire feeding that control module under the dash is either 10 or 12 gauge. (I have to check when I'm actually at the boat tonight)

If its the PLMRBS10, it has 2 x 20A chassis mounted fuses. Based on that, it has a potential of 40A draw. Odds are, it will only even draw about 20A on a continuous basis, its best to be conservative. I would not recommend adding this potential load to the helm BUSS with only a 10 or 12 ga feed. I suggest taking it straight to the battery. And that means both the B+ and B- for the amp. With the length of the run, 8ga might be in order.

Thanks for your input.
It is the PLMRBS8, which has a pair of 15A fuses, but your point is still very valid.
I think I can probably get by with 10ga feeder, though. (Especially since it is the PLMRBS8)
Thanks,
