P1000 I need power terminal block help please.

GlockMeister, are you running your winch direct to the battery and no fuse?

He probably has his relay fused, I do. I have every thing fused, except my wife, suggestions?

Typically no fuse between battery and relay or relay and winch...

Actually, you’re the one that needs to be fused....

Correct..no fuse.

I am fussed!

Yep you’re fussed (sic)

Correct..no fuse.

Ive ordered a Blue Sea 5030 6 circuit with ground bus and a 5/16" Stud Power distribution busbar (red positive and black for ground, two bars) with cover. That should do what I want with future room. Winch will be direct and the Wet Systems stuff to the busbar with their individual fuses supplied on their cords; all of this will be on my second bigger AGM battery, after the the battery isolator. Lights, maybe a horn and whips will be on the Blue Sea 5030.

Always be prepared for more. I recently overhauled my wiring. I never "planned" to add all the things i have and had an awful mess. Run some extra hot wires when you go to do it..it will make it alot easier on ya later down the road.

Nice... sounds like a plan! Make sure to consider connectors in your wiring so that if you need to pull your hood that you do not have hard wires run to switches or lights, etc. The worst thing is doing a really nice install, then have a problem that requires taking it apart and it becomes a GIANT PITA because you forgot to give yourself a way to easily do that... don't ask me how I know...

Simple, but works.

These we're way too big, I'm returning them. Now I need to get power on solenoids for the Wet Sounds equipment because I realize they are on all the time....

You really only need a single relay that is powered on by the key on circuit. From that you can tie to your fused distribution or other block. You can run a wire straight from your battery, through the relay to a large fuse or breaker and then to your distribution. You only need to size it for the total distributed load. There are lots of nice solid state or sealed DC relays. They also make fused relays if you only need a circuit or two but the main point is your key on power should power a relay to seperate the load from the key on power circuit.

HTH!

I used this grounding bar on my setup.

I'd like a lighted switch on my switch panel to power the music, I'd like the option to play it with the key off. Do you by chance have an Amazon link for that relay?

I used that brand, just different set up, two posts for red and black and 6 fused circuits.

If you want to play it with the key off, you don't really need to tie to the key on circuit. do you know how many amps your sound system uses?

Yes, amps are: Wet Sounds AS-6 30 amps, Wet Sounds Stealth 6 Sound Bar 15 amps. I have that exact stereo rocker switch, I planned on using that with a relay. Thanks for the help.

 

[RedFred1]

Great!

If you know the circuit current, you can size the relay, wire and the fuse... you are halfway home!
