Greetings -
I've recently purchased a new for me '95 2002 FSLM and have a couple battery related questions - and as it relates to the stereo. First off - it has a single battery, and the stereo is wired such that it turns on both when the key switch is at the accessory position and on postition. Totally expected.
The question becomes: When I add a second battery with either a Perko or Blue Sea switch and ACR - do I want to keep the stereo wired off the key switch - or do I want to add a bus underneath, wire all the stereo components to that (I want to add a sub, etc), eliminating the key switch and then run the stereo off the house battery and keep the other battery isolated as a starting battery.
What are the advantages/disadvantages - I can see that by eliminating the key switch I get:
1. The stereo stays on when going from having the engine on to off. It takes a few seconds for the sirius to kick back in when going from "on" to "acc".
I've been out a couple times so far - but I'm excited about getting down to Lake Powell in June for a week.
Thanks for your help - this has been a great resource so far.
