So running a single battery with 7-10 outs need to consolidate and (ideally) color all throws.
Looking for a panel that can accommodate this load in one spot?
Is there a need for an aux. fuse panel? Bz 's doing the wiring but I am looking ahead and wanting to put all the switches in one place.
Not much out there in the way of modest and minimal any ideas would be welcome.
PLEASE!
ON the cheap! Serious answers only please;-)
To be clear, simple, clean, and (preferably) bbbblack

have a laugh and respond!

If you're going to running a bunch of accessories, I'd think about putting in a fuse block. Blue Sea Fuse Block
Check out marinas like West Marin for a switch panel. You can get the fuse block there too.
Whileyou can easily buy a panel with all the nessasary switches, finding a spot for said paner is going to be a problem. YOu best bet is going to be a custom made panel, mounting them to the left of the sterring wheel under the vent. And likeothers have said, you'll defenatly need an afermarket fuze block.
Thanx guys will start with those suggestions!
x2 for the Blue Sea Fuse Block, and the 12volt guy panel. Also go to Del City for all your connectors and wiring. In fact, del city sells the blue sea fuse block, and they supply the parts to 12voltguy.

Hands down, only way to fly. Its a few more $$$, but completely worth it. I run 2 12voltguy panels, a blue sea fuse block, and a few hundred feet of del city wires/connectors... consider buying trailer wire for running anything outside the cabin of the vehicle.

On the connector aspect of things. ONLY RUN SHRINK TUBE TERMINALS. While you may not need the heat shrink, it will have a much greater pull strength, resulting in a better performing terminal in the long run.

Can you explain more this part?
I guess he is suggesting that one heat shrink tube the connection points vs. tape or naked. Thanx planned on it got a gun today a harbor freight for $10- and a whole lota other goodies!!
By using shrink tube terminals (you can look them up at delcity.net), you will gain a much higher pull capacity before the wire rips out of the terminal. While you may not need the weatherproofing capacity of the terminal, you can utilize the other characteristics of a shrink tube terminal.

I have found with our applications (lots of assembly/disassembly with new modifications) that wires tend to pull out of terminals, or can get loose, causing connection issues.
So right you are ! Gonna redo all pre-existing mods to type sc(shrink -connect)
cool waddya think of grm's post?
