Default Accessory or Ignition?

Do most folks running aftermarket amps run the amp turn on lead to ignition or accessory power? I'm going to be running an Arc Moto 600.4 - given the inline fuse is 60 amp and the bike's main fuse is only 50 amp, I'm guessing the amp will have quite a current draw. In the past I've used my bike's stereo to listen to music while working in the garage. Wondering if that is going to become a battery killer ??? A buddy has his turn on wired to the ignition and suggests no prolonged listening unless the bike is running..

Accessory wire used for the invisible antenna. If not, use the purple wire for the cig lighter.

Without question u need to go to Walmart and get urself a workshop / garage boom box man. Nothing good will come from using ur sled as a garage boom box. It's just not intended for such use.

Definitely suggest one of these! Makes the install much easier and cleaner with no cutting or guessing.
