Default If those people do not know basic things like where to get the power from...
you should not be letting them install anything in your car. I am absolutely serious.

And of course the power has to come directly from the battery, with a fuse installed near the battery connection. Possibly a flux capacitor as well.

You should be using at least 4 gauge wire for that setup.

yup, which is why I can't imagine any other way but direct to battery connection.

Default actually, there's a 4 gauge wire that goes from battery to fuse block, which you can tap behind knee
bolster

probably not ideal, but works great for me
