Default Electrical gurus, wiring help

What is the best way to supply power to multiple devices?
Currently, I have 5 devices that require 12v power. I do not like putting the wire in the fuse slot.
Is there a way to create a small, but separate, fuse panel for these devices?
How do you do it?

Thanks.

Get a fuse distribution block.

Run a 4 gauge power supply to the block and get some smaller gauge wire to run to the other devices.

Thanks.

Where would you connect the fuse block to so that it would turn everything on whent he key is turned on?

what i did was buy a 30 amp relay and tap into the power wire going to the ecu, so when the ecu saw power it would allow power to run from the battery to the fuse block.

What exactly are you trying to hook up?

The big gauge wire coming from the battery would make everything have constant power; however, each individual thing you hook up can be on a switch. So, you can use 4-5 different switches or whatever you like.

I plan on wiring the following:

Boost controller
Power meter
2 - gauges
A/F controller


I definitely do not want constant power to them, but rather key-on power. I do not want a bunch of switches though. Is there a way to tie into the ignition to control the power to the block?

If you look 2 posts up...

Edit:

The 30 amp relay will consist of 4 prongs.
1- power wire
2- ground wire
3- Signal power wire (ie power wire by the ecu)
4- Is the power wire going out to the fuseblock. &lt;-- not a question

Thanks guys, I suck at wiring. I like your setup B6tPower, I think I will go that route.

Thanks again for the info.
