PB: Installing Powered Hideaway Sub… Disconnect Aux & HV Batteries?

[Jerome10]

Maybe I’m being overly uptight about this but thinking of installing a Kicker Hideaway sub behind the rear seat on my Powerboost

It is powered and therefore runs to the 12V battery.

I’ve seen procedures for the Powerboost that mention disconnecting the 12V main battery, the Aux battery under the seats, and there is a high-voltage disconnect harness under the hood.

To connect this powered amp, is it best practice to disconnect all 3 of these? Or do I just need to do the main battery and aux battery? Clearly don’t wanna electrocute myself or damage any sensitive systems on the truck.

I'm installing the kicker hideaway 46hs10 when I receive it next week on my PB. I just have the basic non-B/O audio system. I don't plan on disconnecting anything. I've installed a sub a few times on different vehicles. I doubt it would do anything but I guess I'll find out!
