Thank you ! Now for the Diode what should I get or are they all the same ? Can I put this all on a little circuit board to keep it tidy ? Any way to figure out current draw from the HU without pulling the wires apart ? I do have a multimeter.

THere's a little pull down tab under the video SELECT A FORMAT. You can watch the flash version as well. I used a Gopro Hero cam, audio was all wind so I replaced with my own Soundtrack.
