Amplifier Power Source

Hi All,

I will be installing a Helix V Eight DSP Mk2 and mObridge DA-G2 in place of my Burmester Amp in my 2018 C300.
The power wire for the factory amp is not suitable for the Helix so my plan is to run a power wire from either a spare fuse in the rear fuse box, or just hook on a 6awg wire to the feed going to the fusebox in the rear.
I have attached a photo.


Seemingly, it would be easier to attach a wire to the feed that supplies the fuse box. However, my goal is to have to look as factory as possible, so I would prefer the option of using a Maxi Fuse - however the challenge seems to be finding the holder clip and terminal for one.
What have other people done in this situation? Has anyone managed to obtain one of the fuse holders and terminals?

I ran a new fused 12 volt line down the passenger side to the trunk, directly from the battery. Everything i read said that was the best practice. It didn't take very long.
