Ok so I decided to just go ahead and attempt to setup a power source for my accessories.(gauges, controllers, etc.) Its just that I have no idea on what to get(fuse block, relay, distribution block). So need help deciding in what to get. Highest current being pulled is 20amps for my fans other stuff is half that size I think.

Setup will be:

??gauge wire > fuse block > relay > distribution block > accessories

So my questions are:

1. What size/kind fuse block should I get?
2. What kind of distribution block should I get?
3. What kind of relay?
4. What gauge wire from battery to fuse block? Fuse block to relay? Relay to distribution block?

Thanks

i bought a 6 slot fuse block from auto zone....very cheap, and only had to run one line from the relay to the block (power distribution) ....then ran 10 gauge wire to the batt and relay....the relay was just a simple 30 amp relay...this set up is currently running my gauges and will be adding my underglow and led lighting
