radio connects to the radio harness, no reason to change it. If you have aftermarket amps setup some people run them on a 2nd battery and/or capacitor.
I’ll be running two amps on a second battery. Just haven’t found anything good online talking about it
If I was going to go that route I would use the 2nd battery and a cap and have it on a relay so the cap is not sucking power out of the battery when the key is off.

It doesn't matter which battery you connect your amplifiers to UNLESS you are isolating one battery for vehicle-off reserve (running the stereo with the engine off) OR you have an isolated high end battery (like an Optima Yellow Top or one of those car audio batteries) and want to run the system off of it vs. a normal starting battery.
That’s exactly what I planned on doing. I’d love to have the option of turning on the radio without the key in the ignition. Really wanna have all the audio run off the second bat. Gonna run a YELLOWTOP separated with an isolator.

Consider getting a Odyssey. Optima batteries haven't been that great in the past few years.
*screams internally* I should’ve done more research on batteries.
