    Most semi's have a large enough fuse to handle your radio, but it is always suggested to run your own wires direct to battery.

    Something that small I see no reason why not.

    Yes you can and no you wont have one single problem with it. But....if you end up getting electric noise from you alternator in the receive of your radio... The easy way to fix that is to clean a spot on your seat frame down to bare metal and connect your black wire there. I've done this more times than I can count and it works just fine.

    The only problem you may run into is blowing the fuse for that power source but tha's at simple to fix by installing a larger fuse.
