The thinnest marine wire would work fine as would a 3 amp fuse. There is almost no current on that wire.

After a hard reset my deck turns my cockpit speakers OFF :) But only when streaming bluetooth audio, which is all I really do. It's like 5 layers into the menu and a PITA to set up each time. 15 amp fuse is what I have been reading people use on this wire, would that be correct? I'll be hooking it up directly to the battery. I can't recall now whether it's 14ga or 16ga wire.

It only is shut off when I turn the big ON/OFF switch (A/B/All for some folks.) That seemed like a good compromise to me. Depending on how fancy your stereo is, it can be a PITA to go through the setup constantly. For me, I use the fader to control volume in the main cabin vs. cockpit. That's important. A few times I have forgotten about that, and after doing something electrical have been inside rockin' out to music or watching a movie without realizing that my cockpit speakers are sharing my experience with anyone nearby. That's rude, and embarrassing. For that reason I deliberately change the default display color to 'red' so that if I see the default 'blue' color I know to check the setup.
