Im not going all crazy with it just the norm like taillights and headlights and maybe an electric cooling fan. Would a 10 circuit fuse block be enough as far as circuits?  | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 84 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 84 | | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Not if you plan on hooking up very many circuits & protecting them with fuses. A modern radio uses 2. 18 would be best or 12 if you double up some things.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

He's right on. You can get by with 12 fairly easy but you probably get more circuits for about the same money. You may also want to use the SMALL fuse block set up if you are putting it in a tight space. Also each wiring vendor offers different amounts of circuits so check around. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 84 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 84 | Thanx for the input fellas! Im also going with all LED lighting as far as light bulbs so that I dont put much of a strain on the electrical system  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 | If you look around at the Painless Wiring fuse blocks, they come in various configurations with flashers and a fuse for pretty much everything. Just the fuse blocks aren't too expensive and they have labeled terminals on the mount so it's pretty hard to goof it up. Not that I didn't try

Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
