Default How to connect multiple accessories to battery?

Any good solution for multiple accessory connections? I am getting to a point where I need to figure out a new way to connect accessories to my battery. Too many to add to one post.

Default Fuse box

Here is what I did

Attachment 330180

I bought a marine fuse box, put a 120 amp fuse before it and mounted it to the TIPM.

Scott, very nice set up. However, that Quadratec option appears much more in line with my abilities. Don't know how I missed it. Thanks!

$35 for a battery terminal?! You can get something similar off ebay for $5.

Those terminals are cute but you still need inline fuses with that. My setup cost about $50. It's not that big. Fits under hood perfectly and the TIPM opens easily.

Wow, 120 Amp Fuse! So the wire to and from the fuse is 0 (single-ought) and the fuse block is rated for that feed?

Got a manufacturer and part# for that? Just what I'm looking for.

ebay is your best friend

You can get a fused distribution block for under $15.
