[QUOTE="soberups, post: 566152, member: 14668"] The right and safe way to hot-wire a radio into an 800 is to clip onto the back of the toggle switch for the dome light that is above the bulkhead door. Its a 3-way switch, 2 blades are always hot so you just clip onto one of those and then clip your ground wire to the bracket. The nice part about this method is that the switch itself is fused so if you brain fart and get your wires crossed it wont cause a fire, it will only blow the fuse to the dome light. Where people get into trouble is by hooking right on to the battery. If you dont have an inline fuse on your radio and you get those wires crossed it will melt and start a fire. Same goes for the idiots who pull a blade fuse out of the fuse box and run a wire in behind it, you screw that up and you will cause a fire. [/QUOTE]
