NOS Install question

So, I'm planning on purchasing a NOS kit by spring, and any day now I am getting a CD Changer for the car, which I will be installing the trunk.

So, I figure while I have the interior apart and am running stuff to the trunk, I should run any necessary wiring to the trunk that I can right now for a NOS setup..

What needs to be back there (electrically speaking)? Is it just power and ground? Power from where, the battery? I don't have an instruction manual yet of course, so any help would be appericated.

[EDIT]
This is assuming that I'll have either a heater, remote opener, or both as well...I can't think of why you'd need power if just the bottle's back there.

You will need to run at least 1 extra wire back there. The Bottle Heater comes with a relay so i just mounted it in the trunk and used my power & ground from my distribution blocks fomr when i had my stereo. The extra wire will be for one of the terminals on teh switch. I dont know anything about the bottle opener. I am cheap and would jsut rather step out of the trunk and turn it on. Well actually, its always on.

if you have a good +12v power source in the truck (like a power dist block for you audio system) you will only need to run one wire for a bottle heater activation, one wire for remote bottle opener activation.
+12v supply power from fuse box will be needed if you don't have good power source in the trunk.

try to keep you nos system on a separate circuit that you vehicle accessories if possible.

pm if you need more help or looking for a nos system
