I was told, by an Alpine expert.....that only the VDRIVE head units need to be wired directly to the battery for OPTIMAL performance. Most alpines are NOT equipped with VDRIVE amplifiers (the ones people buy when they plan on NOT using an external amp do), and thus, no need to wire straight to the battery. The Alpines that we all have have a MOSFET power supply.
