if you have a fuze in the wireing then you will pop the fuze, if you dont put one in so you dont bern up your rig. your toggle should be fine.

any regular inline fuse will work? how many amp do you recommend? cant i just get a power supply from my fuse box somewhere? such as a headlamp fuse? just run a hot wire off my fuse box to my toggle switch? or will that draw to much power?

Use a relay and wire it straight to the battery (with it's own fuse). This way the switch won't have to carry the load.

use a relay with a fused direct power from the battery, with a low amp control side direct power that is also fused, using the switch to control it.
