update

just bought a metre of 4g red power cable (looks the nuts) and a 8 way dissy block and brass battery clamp :)

this is stage 1 of tidying up the engine bay/electronics :)

Indeed it is.

Although just for the people that want 0 guage cable, you can buy the flat cable from http://www.bladeice.co.uk/ which is piss easy to hide.

thast not the problem, its trying to hide it which is, you only need 0 guage for seriously fuck off huge ice installs. 4 guage is more than sufficient for most things.

2 lots of 4guage should be ok, most are have 15 amp fuses anyway so nothing big pulling the power

should be ok...although i would use 0 gauge coming from the battery to the block. Also if each one has its own fuse, then i wouldnt bother with a fused block :)

basicly i have many wires off my battery for:-

alarm (x2)
fogs
solinoids
air horns
neons
pager
and a few others

i need a way of tidying up these wires as it looks a mess and is untidy

each of these wires has its own inline fuse

if i run a fat wire off the battery, into a fused dissy block, and then run each live wire out of the block then will this be ok?

any other ideas? wires sizes? locations

i also need to buy one, any ideas where? prices?

cheers
