What do I need to have the voltmeter set at settings wise and where do I place the wands in the front to check if power is getting up there? Anyone? Thanks so much for the help!

It wouldn't have been that hard for you to answer would it?

Anyway it's all good because I figured it out myself and got it all working. So gracias for all the help.

Great thread and i might even go and relocate mine and add extra air ducts leading to my SRI. The whole subject of the fumes doesnt really bother me because my dad has a 1996 Audi A6 and guess where the battery is. Right under the back seat. I thought it was pretty strange but would definitely make installing some subs really easy.

I think the rule of thumb for fuses is to not have the load exceed 80% of the capacity of the fuse, at least in all the Residential and otherwise electrical i've done...
