Default RXV Reducer Question

Hi gang,
I have a 2014 RXV. I installed (but did not hook up the wiring to):
-Wet Sounds Stealth 10 (10 Amps at normal volume)
-Wet Sounds AS-6 Sub (15 amps at normal volume)
-Million Color LED underbody (0.54 amps)

I have a 30-amp reducer (same as madjax), that I plan on wiring to a Blue Seas fuse block. I will have an in-line switch on the lights and sound bar (the sub turns off when the sound bar is powered down).

Am I better off wiring to the solenoid in this configuration or to the battery set? I know RXV's are extremely delicate with their wiring/control system, so I want to "measure twice and cut once" with this setup. I know to put it in tow mode before doing anything, but I am looking for some guidance if possible. I feel like I have the right components, I just don't want to ruin the cart during the install, or underpower the sound system by wiring to the wrong source.

I'll even paypal someone an Abraham Lincoln to spoon feed me some pictures so I don't screw this up.

Your best bet is Sergio or BobBoyce. RXV is a different animal.

The +48V input wire of the reducer would connect to the large terminal of the solenoid that has the cable that connects to the B+ terminal of the controller. The - input wire of the reducer would connect to the battery pack -terminal, or the B- terminal of the controller. They are both the same potential (voltage level).

Bob,
Thanks for the reply. Is there a certain color cable I should be looking for coming off that Solenoid?

The factory cables on the solenoid can be red or blue. I upgraded mine to 2 guage.
