1986 Coupe - Stereo Wiring Quick Question(s)/ Advice

So, while cleaning up the wiring and checking things over:


Photos below are of my 86' Coupe and the previous owners wiring for an aftermarket head unit:


Photo 1:



Photo 2:



Photo 3:




Head unit/stereo lines are tied into the wires from the ignition switch to headlight switch as seen above. Both fused 40a and 10a constant and switched wires respectively..


My question is: In the above photos is this the best place to wire the head unit in and are the fuses correct. 10a and 40a don't seem right???


Is there a better constant and switched power source to tie into??? I have searched the threads and seems some run constant/permanent power (fused) directly from the battery???


I have recently developed an issue at startup where 1 time out of 10 the head unit will not come on AND the headlights will not work. Most times if I restart the car they both work fine...



Thanks for any input!

Erik
