Installing a modern CD player in a TR6

[Robert Rudolphi <robertrudolphi@netscape.net>]

Team,

I was hoping to get some advice from the list on how to wire a new CD 
player I am purchasing for my 74 TR6. I currently have the "factory" AM 
FM stereo system. I have purchased a new center console that has already 
been cut and plan to install a modern CD player. The issue is I have a 
battery cutoff switch on the negative side of the battery to shut off 
the power whenever I park the car. I don't want to have to reset 
everything on the new radio every time I drive the car. I am thinking of 
running power and ground wires directly to the positive and negative 
sides of the battery and putting inline fuses in each. Does anyone 
foresee problems with this or have recommendations on a better way?

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

 

Robert
