Adding Accesories

I want to add some additional electronics to my car. I would like to add additional circuits which will be 12 v Keyed. I was wondering if it would be safe to run a wire with a male spade to an aux fuse box from the factory box under the dash. (Attached what I have in mind below.) I then would run the additional electronics off the Aux fuse box.

I wanted to run 2 -3 Autometer Gauges, and 1 or 2 12 volt Aux Fans in the interior ( no longer have AC in the car.). The draw of all of the above items should be less than 20 amps.

If this isn't a good idea can you suggest something else?

Re: Adding Accesories

i would take the brown wire that fed the a/c blower and use it, should come from 25A htr-a/c fuse
