Well after my first day off in 6 weeks, thought I'd use if effectively and put some more noise in my car. Start approx. 8pm on friday night, got to sleep at around 2:30 saturday morning, then woke up at 12, and continued til around 5pm on saturday evening, and ended up with this:
Distro block Four gauge wiring 100A Fuse Previously had a single monoblock amp in the boot, with 8 gauge wiring running to it. Wasn't thick enough, so pulled the 8 gauge and reinstalled with 4 gauge, as well as installing a new fuse holder. Ran the 4 gauge to a distro block which split it into 2 8 gauges, running to the two amps. The ground connections were made the a designated grounding point behind the boot carpet. Let me know what you guys think :

Pioneer AVIC HD3. Not cheap, but a wonderful unit.

.. or even better, get hold of some electrician's plastic spiral wrap to do the job.
Such as this...

Photo doesn't work ;)
But the image address works. I was thinking about taping up all the wires, but to be honest, I actually kinda like the look of the wires. Must be personal opinion though...

I would recommend you use the electrical black spiral plastic covers for the wires makes the job just that much more professional looking.
