In todays world of cell phones - nav - upgraded sound systems - Daves wiring harnesses - radar detectors - IPODS - there must be a organized way to pull power from your battery and feeding accessories without the engine bay looking like a mess.

Also - while we are at it:

Wirthco 30200 Fuse Tap Kit - agc

With a lot of todays electronics we have to pull a power source from the fuse block as well as pull continual power from the battery.

Has anybody found anything better than this to use to pull power from the fuse block?

I've got the same questions. Looking forward to what the electrical wiz's have to say.

Just make sure you have the Alternator output to drive the added load.

And don't forget that if you power directly off the battery:

1) you will definitely want to fuse it properly AND

2)remember that your ammeter will reflect a larger charge rate simply because of the added draw directly from the battery that is NOT going through the rest of the electrical system.
