I made up an AutoCad drawing and saved it to PDF for you guys to use.
I never liked seeing guys run high amp draws through small wires and directly through toggle switches. Don't be fooled by the amp rating of the cheap switches! They will fail and possibly destroy your fine ride!
Use the correct wire guage for you application too! I like to use 8 or 10 guage stranded wire for the main supply to my firewall mounted breaker unit. Think of the amps rated on the device your powering, fuse it for slightly more than that for inrush, then select a wire to handle that. Individual conductors to the device can and should be smaller than the main supply to your primary breaker. I chose a 30A breaker then ran each relay off the output post and fused the ouput side of that for the device being protected accordingly.
Anyhow, If you have questions about anything on this drawing, drop me a line.
