Adding multiple aftermarket guages...

Im going to be running multipule aftermarket guages in my car. All these guages need 12+ with the key in the "on" position (duh). What have you guys done to "wire up" aftermarket guages? Id perfer to wire these guages up "clean." Clean meaning NOT hacking up the wiring to make my guages work. Im sure theres a thread talking about this same problem but I dont know what to type in to find what I want.....

Well, you could power them off of the unused "ign" tap on your fuse block.

well all depends where u want your gauges man, the obvisious and easy way would be to route the wiring behind dash panels etc, where they cant be seen, and where they exit out of the panel, use split loom tubing for a clean look.
