Wiring ideas

I was just wondering how those of you who have alot of electrical accesories go about wiring them? As of right now I will have 2 electric fuel pumps, 2 electric fans, electric water pump, MSD box, and nitrous solenoids.

Basically I was just curious as to how some of you guys are getting power to all of this stuff. Right now I am just using a couple copper washers that bolt in between the battery and cables cables and have 4 or 5 terminals on them. Although it does work it looks very autozonish.

Re: Wiring ideas

Beside the battery should be the terminal block where the fusible links connect - this is one place where you can get 12v+ .

Relays are very usefule as well - especially when trying to run these accessories off switches in the cabin. Get 12v from the fuse panel inside the car to activate the relays under the hood, where you obtain 12v from the fusible link terminal block for the high need devices.

I also use relays to supply a neg (ground) to things, but I still need a positive to light the led on the rocker switch. Rocker get 12v from fuse panel when switchis turned on, 12v is given to relay that switches on neg (ground) for the accessory.
