Default (Fuel) Kill Switch Woes

Well, I'm getting everything in order for my kill switch install.

Just to make sure everything is on the up-and-up..

1) This switch? http://www.radioshack.com/prod...62533

2) What gauge wire do I use? I've heard 14, 16, and 18? (Kill switch will be approx 2 feet away from spliced wire)

3) Should I use a relay? (Since it's only 2-feet away)

4) Any words of advice/tips or hints/anything of the sort before I get to cutting?

expletive that...That write up is way too over complex and kindof rediculous. The one I posted is way simpler and works...I've had mine installed for years with no problems what so ever.

one good way to let everione know that ur car is being jacked is to connect ur horn to the ignition switch and a switch in between that way when someone start ur car and the switch is armed the the horn will go off without stoping until they disconnect the battery

just one layer of security
