Wiring Cutout

Hello again, i have appreciated all the help i have gotten on my new purchase to this point. This forum is awesome. I am about to wire a QTP cutout. I am looking for the most direct route to a constant 12v power supply. Is there an easy way into the cab and tap the 12v accessory outlet? Should i just run directly to battery with a fuse on it? Anyone do this before with success either way. Figured i would use some collective brain power before i start drilling if avoidable.

Sorry -
Posted a bunch of spare fuses you could use, and then realized that they were all "Keyed-power" and you wanted constant.

Aside from like the horn and power seat fuses, I don't know any others that are constant, that I'd feel safe tapping into. Probably safest to just tie on the battery with an in line fuse.

I appreciate it. Yeah i want to be able to close the cutout from my bedroom when i wake up in the AM really early as to not **** of the neighbors. I will just run a line to the battery. I wont have to get into the cab and it really isnt that far from where the cutout will be. Ill post pics and a sound clip once its all done. Im removing the front resonator and replacing it with a Y pipe this weekend. Currently i have just removed the coffee can resonator so i had an idea how it would sound. It sounds throaty but still a little too tame for my liking. So i will have cat back straights through the cutout and then just the muffler while towing/early mornings!

oh yea-what size fuse should i use? I have read a few different things when i searched google some saying they only used a 1 amp fuse some saying 20 amp (different brands). 20 seems high to me but im not always the most electrically inclined person.
