I asked exactly this. And even if you don't use the power from the exhaust amp, there's maybe spare capacity in the stereo amp and that power can be tapped?

I've just checked a pic of the sticker on the back the upgrade HK amp but there's no info on power draw. If the feed borrowed from the HK amp is fused then I think you maybe ok as the current draw from BT and sound processing modules shouldn't be high?
