Ok cool guys great info,
So the deck that i was looking at is Alpine iDA-X303

I was looking at the info of just these two

The Beauty of USB for Other Devices
With a dedicated USB input and USB cable in addition to iPods, you can securely connect MP3 players like the iRiver Clix, Creative Zen, or Toshiba Gigabeat, using the MTP protocol or even connect USB memory devices like thumbdrives and USB hard drives. Song lists on USB devices are displayed in alphabetical order, and allows eight levels of file / folder search capabilities. This unit will find music files while ignoring other file types on the device.

Quality Sound
Get the best iPod sound experience thanks to a digital USB Connection and a dedicated 24-Bit D/A converter. Or better yet, go all the way by adding an IMPRINT Sound Processor for the most ideal sound experience in your vehicle. The optional PXA-H100 is a small, inexpensive unit that corrects all the acoustic problems in your vehicle for ideal sound clarity and imaging. It’s a huge advantage you won’t find anywhere else! When the PXA-H100 is connected to the iDA-X303 you get better sound, faster.

I have the plan already for where to place the PHDD and I will have to put some type of padding around it. It’s just the wiring on how to power the PHDD and i want my wiring to be neat b/c i hate messy and i just don’t want to damage the PHDD, the Deck and the car.

Just go to thesource and get a power converter, plug the hd into it inside glove box, cut the input wire of the converter and splice it into your cigarette lighter. If the USB is in the front of your deck you can run it behind your deck through the side and into the front, if theres one also in the back just plug it in there.
