Battery Isolator Question

I have a Stinger battery isolator that I’m going to install in a 2012 900 XP and I was wondering what the best "true ignition source" to wire to was? I’ve searched old threads but couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for. Also, is there anything else other than an isolator that I should have to run a second battery? I have inline fuses but saw where some were using circuit breakers rather than carrying fuses. What the best option? Mainly looking for the best "true ignition source" though. Thanks in advance

Wiring up some extra brake lights.

I recently got a cage and it comes with 3 LED strips. I got 2 red and one orange.

For the orange I will wire it into my whip lights switch, but for the red ones I would like to wire them to my brake lights.

I do not however wish to tap into the brake lights near the taillights themselves, I would like to instead run the wire from the fuse box. I have to run the wires forward through the cage to under the dash, not sure if I can tap into a wire under the dash?, or if I need to route back to the factory fuse box. In either case wheres is the best place make my connection?

Any advice?

What components do I need.

Excuse me for my ignorance, but I’m about to start my stereo build from all the outstanding ideas posted. But I’m still not 100% clear on the components I need for my planned set up. I am a Sirrius XM radio subscriber, and I have the app on my cell phone. and it syncs. up great with a blue-tooth connection which I have for my backpacking speaker and my blue-tooth capable car radio. I’m reading a lot about people building systems with ONLY a 2 channel amp and speakers ?????. Is this all I need to install and be able to sync up with using my phone app to connect to Sirrius, or do I need something else in addition to the AMP. I thought I would need some kind of blue-tooth cabable reciever, and am curious if amp alone is capable of picking up blue-tooth Sirrius signal from my phone.??? I’m learning.

Voltage

Went riding Saturday for about 5 hours and on the way back my display was showing 10.2 volts, cut it off and it wouldn’t restart. Put charger on it, cranked it Sunday started up and has 13.5 volts. Is my regulator going out?
