Does anyone know how many watts can be safely run in a 2013 kia reo? I've called the company,dealership and anyone else I could think of and nobody has any idea what I'm talking about but I'm concerned about all the electronics in these new models and I don't want to fry the computer in the vehicle. I'm only running a barefoot galaxy 959 and I was wondering if anyone has any info or where I could find out. My wife would kill me if I ruined her birthday present we've had ir for about9 yrs and hope to get another 9 years out of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
