I 'm looking for 1 in bus (10-12g) and 4-6 outs (14g or less).

I checked napa and radioshack.
napa had mutli bus only and RS had big gold #4 wire things. these already run off a fused block so I dont need more fuses.

Check a boating (yacht) supply house. They've got all kinds of neat HD electrical supplies.:smokin:

Go to a car stereo shop. They have/or can get all kindsa stuff
Check out a Stinger Wiring catalog. Or go here:

Stinger Fuse Blocks (http://www.sounddomain.com/shop/list/b/Stinger/t/Fuse%20Distribution%20Blocks)

Hope that helps

good luck!

I was surprised to find them there, but autozone had some, and they were cheap.

screw terminal type, plastic mount, and they can be clamped together to add to.

This is a good electrical store. Call them and ask and get them to send you a catalog while you have em on the phone.

ok heres wut I'm trying to accomplish.

I"m trying to do some upgrades and not have it be my typical "hey it works" style.

I'm rewiring my rocklights w/ 14 and adding a relay. I'm also adding relays for the york and for the fan. I"m not sure of the RIGHT way to do all this.

I have a 10g from the batt into a fuse block in the cab, I run my stereo, CB and had my rock lights on it too.

So now I have 3 swtches being fed by this fuse block, these three swtches go out thru firewall to the relays.

I want to run 1 10g wire to supply the relays. I have been looking at terminal blocks and bus's etc. I wanted a terminal/junction box w/ 1 in and 4-6 out. but havent found anything like that. I found a nice water proof junction box but it had independant terminals, I would have to run a bunch of + wires or make up some jumpers. Not as ez as a $29 component should be. I have lloked at painless.com and wranglernw.com
Whats the best/cleanest/most pro way I could do this?

should I just use crimp splice and not worry about it? an insulated post terminal?

All 88 and later Chev trucks with fuel injection have a sweet six lug terminal block on the firewall (passenger side ,sometimes under a plastic cover)
it is basically an insulated terminal strip with six 5/16-18 studs ....... you could easily run 100 amps of 12VDC through it....
Cruise through the Pic+Pull you could easily score a few for LOW cash outlay....

I am using a junction block out of a 91 wrangler. It houses my relays and connects straight to the battery. Also, some of the relays are switched and some aren't.
