Greetings all,
I'm looking to install an auxiliary fusebox to provide power from the battery to a handful of electrical components. Read a few posts that covered installing one as a power source for relays but haven't found a post that used one as a power source directly to devices. It would be providing power to two engine bay lights and two phone charging ports, both of which I would like to have power even when the truck is off. Would it need to be heavier duty that the ones used for relays? It is essentially the same in practice as the one purposed for relays but just wanted to make sure as this would be my first venture into electric mods. Any suggestions of which fusebox to use would be appreciated as well. Thanks in advance!

 

i would use 8 gauge wire from battery with a 40 amp fuse on it, then to the fusse block that u like, i have just used fuse holders before and taped them together for a set up but its more what u like for a fuse block.

 

Check out Centech or Ron Francis Wire Works on the WEB. I use a Centech 5 Fuse panel for my Auxiliary lights, Nitrous, etc. Good quality stuff.

 

Blue Sea fuse box FTW. http://bluesea.com/category/5/21/productline/126

Also check out Irab88's build thread. He's got a pretty trick setup as well. Also using a blue sea fuse box as well as some other goodies.
