PRP Seat Heater wiring??

So I had the seats out checking out the fuel vent line, and decided to wire up the PRP seat heaters for the cold weather.
Since the fuse block and battery are right there, I was hoping to use one of the empty spots in the fuse block to hook the seats (7.5amps per seat) to "Key-on" power. None of the empty spots have power to them….. and none of the existing circuits have heavy enough wires to tap into and draw an extra 15amps of power from……
At this point the only thing I can think of is tapping into one of the circuits that are "Key-on" power and use that to close a relay that could be wired directly to the battery. The power required to close a relay shouldn’t be very much of an extra load on an existing circuit? Anybody got any other ideas?? or am I on the right track??
Thanks in advance,
Keith

Antenna for FM radio

Who is running an external antenna for their sound system ?
I have the SSV Works overhead system and I am wanting to add an external antenna. Thinking about running two 16" flexible marine antennas and using a "2 into 1" coax junction connector. Will using two adversely affect my FM signal in any way ?
Plz send pics if you have external set-up….
THANKS !!!!

Starting my system build !!!! Need advice.

I have a two seat xp900, looking at doing a 5 channel amp, 4 6.5 speakers and a sub under the dash. I believe I’ll need to run a second battery and an isolator. Can someone give me some advice on the isolators and how big a second battery I need? Also considered doing a head unit over the Bluetooth controller I have currently. Thoughts or advice from those who have built theirs in the past? I picked this up I’m going to make an enclosure for.

900 XC -Stereo Ideas

Hey guys, I am wanting to add some tunes to my new rzr but dont have much room on the roof ( chopped cage ) and I cannot find a good place to mount the radio in the dash. My buddy put his up top of the dash but I dont like the look at all. Since I dont really care about a radio, is there a amp that will have a usb port and volume control only? I just want to play songs off of a usb drive without needing a radio. Thoughts?

wiring question

Okay, I’ve had a winch installed on my 1000 since I bought it. Ran the 4 gauge + and – wires from the battery up front under the console to the solenoid/contactor. I recently bought a set of Rigid D2 driving lights and they came with a wiring harness, but the + and – wires are too short to reach the battery. I never did run a hot wire from the battery to the positive on the factory buss bar. Just use the acc post to power a couple of my switches.

My question is; can I connect my + and – for my cubes to the + and – on my winch solenoid under my console instead of running another hot all the way to the battery? I was thinking of a couple of options. Do as I said above, jumper the + and – from the winch solenoid with 6 or 8 gauge wire to the factory buss bar and use that for power, or do the same and jumper to a new fuse block for future accessories too. I’ve never used the winch, but don’t want to run into problems if I need to. I’d really like to go the fuse block route to make things easier in the future.
