Fuse Box ideas

Post by beretta »

Hi all,

I am in the final stages of finishing setting my car up for comps. The batteries ( 3 of them) are mounted behind the cab under the tray. I want to keep all the accessories wiring as neat and trouble free as possible, so I am looking for some advice on fuse boxes where I can run all the accessories through one fuse box rather than having wiring running all over the place with fuses in each line. Does anyone know of a good style of fuse box to use, I was wondering if there is one available that I can just run one big ass positive power supply to that then powers the mutliple smaller supplies, hope that makes some sense?

Hopefully that gets across what I amtrying to acheive, if not we can clear it up as we go! :?

Thanks for the help.

Cheers, Paul

One question though, it says 100amps total for the block, but 30 amps max per circuit, so basically an average of 8amps per cicuit is that right?

Maybe I should just get the 6 fuse one.

yeah but most things will drawer less than that.
Not very often you'll have every thing going at once either.

yeah they're going well thanks mate. They're a good unit so they pretty much sell themselves, I don't really advertise a lot, have sold them all by word of mouth so far. Am looking into some other goodies to compliment the solenoids.
