    Fuse Block

    Anyone have a suggestion for a good powerful fuse block? Or even if the setup iM doing is okay..
    I basically want to run a power wire. 4ga from the battery to a fuse block.

    This fuse block would basically power.. My alarm/backup battery. Remote Start Wires. Clutch Bypass Relay.. Dei 530t..Eventually an amp when I get money for one.. Horn and and it's relay.. Relay for Main Relay Kill.. Trunk popper and it's relay... 2 Door Poppers.. And maybe 4 7inch tv screens.. So A huge load...lol

    So is my idea feasible.?. Could I reuse a fuse block from another car to power all this stuff and any suggestions as to which car.. or what's wrong with what im trying to do.

    Having a fuse for the backup alarm battery recharge line sounds somewhat reasonable, but you don't need a separate one for every accessory.

    Even 4 7" screens probably don't take much more power than a few inside lights. Look up the power numbers, divide watts by 12V to get amps, and leave maybe 20% margin on top of the worst-case total.

    Likewise with the door & trunk poppers… do they really take more power than power windows & locks? Use the OEM setup as a guideline.

    Did you really install a horn so big that the original horn fuse couldn't take it?

    Maybe to answer your question better, there are a few unused fuse locations in our fuseboxes. If you really need to add a couple to handle the amp and remote power package, do it there. (It's a rat's nest, but one big rat's nest is better than two with one just crammed in.)

      Lol.. No I didn't install a horn so big that the original fuse couldn't take it. Damn my terrible explanations..haa. The wire from my alarm is in mA(500) and it's used to send power to the horn so that it'll make noise when the rest of the alarm goes off. I was going to wire in a standard relay and power it from the little fuse block idea.

      In truth all components are already fused up(component side). I just thought it'd be safer to not run all of these things off of the constant 12v in the fusebox. Didn't want to start a car fire or burn something up. And I was going to run all of the items off of one power source. And the typical(as far as i know) amp install gets power directly from the battery.. So i thought i'd divide the power up for my extra components as well.

      And I wired in a new domelight harness that has connections for the Cd5 maplight and a drivers said parking light 12v. Think those would be strong enough to power the 4 lcds..?

      And none of the components are under the dash(except the few necessary wires). And I wasn't going to put the new fuseblock there. So no need to worry about a rats nest
