No, Dan, they aren't wired in series. They and several other small 
devices connect to a 10 gauge main supply wire that comes directly from 
the battery so in effect they are wired in parallel. Interestingly 
enough, at least to me, when I ran a separate 10 gauge supply line to the 
amp, disconnecting it from the kind of buss wire mentioned above, keying 
the amp still killed the motor, I assume by drawing down the voltage 
supplied by the battery.
Thanks for the suggestion, Dan.
