If I buy this harness, could I use this to wire into a 6-fuse box, and then wire to accessory switches from there?


Initially I’d only be running a sound bar, but may add other stuff down the road. My concern is the sound bar specs state 10 amps, and this harness states a 10 amp max. Open to suggestions. I struggle trying to understand wiring.

Hi.
Yes, you could.
But you should not because of the very thing you mention.

It's only has a 10a rating. It's designed more for a trigger wire or at max 1 or 2 small accessories.

Use this to control your stinger or other relay that will send high amp loads to the volt meter.

I used this keyed pigtail to switch on a relay which then powers up the other relays - essentially doing what you are asking. My accessory relays are also fused and wired to my accessory battery. It can be done without overloading the circuit if you are a little creative...

I plan to get this as well to power a 12v relay, but my question is what to do with my other key on power accesories?
I have my ryco street legal kit currently plugged into the blue plug. And I plan to get the Hess i4wd delete( but I did find out they offer another plug connected to splice).
Should I just cut off the plug of the ryco and go straight to my fuse block?
