I went with fuse #6, but as that other thread mentions, a standard tap won't fit in that location.

For the fuse locations where there isn't room for a standard angle tap, I found these (the gold pieces in the photo):

It's a simple metal tab that slides over one of the fuse prongs that allows a spade connector to be attached. I bought these at a car show swap meet, but I think this might be it if a person wants to order some. They work great. You do need to then add a separate fuse inline on the new wire to protect whatever accessory you're powering. More pics & detail of connecting to fuse #6 can be found on page 6 of my build thread (link in my signature below).

Yeah, entirely too much exposed and energized metal for my taste. I much prefer these fabbed-up taps, although they are only sold in a pack of 10…

That should do it! :love:

FYI I learned from personal experience this week that sound mat applied to the rear cab walls and inside the interior trim panels in the back seat area absolutely makes a meaningful difference.

I miss RadioShack.
Walk in and get everything you need. Miss something it’s close.
None of the possible shipping issues.

Are you added sound deadening material?

Yea, added first bit of kill mat to the back side of the inner door, next is sound reading the under seat tray area, and inside the rear and front doors back wall will be last, since it'll take the most and ill probably need to order more
