Originally posted by DR1665 Ideally, and this is just how I'd do it if I truly gave a damn, I'd have three distribution blocks set up - constant 12VDC, switched 12VDC, and ground. For each, I would use one of those little plastic strips with the two rows of screws that are divided by plastic to keep things clean. Then you could get away with using spade-type crimp-on connectors. Basically, you'd run a clean, fused 12VDC into tha cabin and terminate it with a block like this. Do the same for a switched 12VDC and a clean ground. Then all you'd have to do is crimp and connect. Since everything had it's own connection, you could draw up a simple schematic showing what is connected where. Furthermore, if you wanted to remove a single accessory, you could do so without messing with anything else. Of course, there is still the question of current, but unless you're running some kind of ridiculous AV system, you should be fine with something like this for gauges and sensors. You'd run AV separate, imo. EDIT:
Quick question. Why would you have distribution block for constant 12V power? I run everything in the cabin off of switched 12V power. The only 12V constant I have into the cabin is the power for the fuse block (which has it's own relays on it).
