3rd accessory outlet

would it be possible to install another outlet next to the one under the radio? would i need to change the fuse amp size. i already have a pa system hard wired into the outlet already.

safest bet would probably to be sourcing power from the fuse panel without tapping from another outlet. the wires are fairly small gauge iirc, and might not like the extra current too well. or to wire your PA system into another circuit.

that is a good idea. for the dual outlet, there is now room for those beefy things. the more it looks like it should be there the better

As long as you wire it up properly, yes.

well if you have any unused slots in the fuse panel you could wire a free standing fuse for the pa system. just figure out what amp of a fuse would be safe and use the correct size wires. I did this when I put my interior lights in on my Rx7. I just used an empty slot in the fuse panel to bring power out and to make sure if anything shorted it wouldn't fry anything else, and then I grounded it via chassis.

My question would be how much current does your pa draw?

Not much since it is hardwired into the outlet under the radio. That fuse is only 15 amps so it cant be much. I use that outlet for my radar so there isn't much at all

You could always add another 15 into the fuse box.
