12 volt distribution block
Hey guys, figured i would tap into the CF creative ingenuity pool on this.
Seems like everything wants its own 12 volt wire attached "to the positive battery post", i.e. the MSD, FAST ECU, Stereo amps etc .
I have a Painless switched relay fuse block setup behind my battery, but the wires are all 16 gauge etc, and the MSD and Fast are large wires like 10 gauge and my stereo amp wires i s4 gauge.
What have you guys done, something like this

I am sure those are fine. Back in my younger days(like 15years ago) I sis a lot of stereo stuff, in my cars. Those junctions can be bought to accept like 0 gauge wiring. IMHO, of you start adding lots of stuff requiring 10 gauge supply lines ( high amperage draws), I would look for a 0 gauge supply, than if memory serves me right, you can find 10 gauge outputs. I used alot of Stinger brand power distrubution boxes back than.

Have one just like that in my DD, except its Stinger. Powers two amplifiers, running off of a 0 gauge main wire from the battery up front. Amplifiers are each feeding off of 4 gauge from the block.
