I'll be upfitting a 2015 Ford PIU shortly and will be putting a full size bar on it. My question is, how is everyone hooking up power for those bars? I've seen many upfitters run the power for those from the rear power takeoff. I know the rear power takeoff is 80 amps. I know many bars call for 40-50 amp fusing and I've seen many upfitters use the rear power takeoff for them.
So with that logic, with my feniex bar (fused 40 amps per manufacturer specs) and siren (fused at 30 amps per manufacturer specs) I'm at 70 amps, plus I gotta run about 13-15 amps worth of perimeter lighting, that puts me well over. I've also gotta run 4 radios, 2 in front and 2 in back, which I've decided to run off the front console 34amp power takeoffs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
