I'd say he's on the right track running directly off the battery for a hi-powered stereo system. Just be sure to fuse it.
Also, I'd be less concerned about 12 gauge wire, and more concerned about poor connections and wire that's had the insulation rubbed off, etc. I found a couple spots under the wrap on my OE harness that were problems waiting to happen.
As for the 12 ga wire, if the truck still has the proper 16 gauge fusible link, that sucker will blow to protect the wire if necessary.
