I need help on wiring. Thats my biggest downfall!

so Im asking Where do you guys wire all your stuff!! Switches, gauges, lights, that kind of stuff.

Here is what i have. Nitrous with 3 switches, Bottle heater. purge. Subs, amp. And for now i have one gauge. its just a narrow band until i get my AEM eugo. BUt i also have a electric n20 pressure gauge i need to mount. and when i do my trans i want a tranny temo gauge.

So now i have the subs, and nitrous, bottle heater wired to the battery. Most all of the switches are tapped into the stereo. and the one guage is running off a radom fuse. I know thats not hows its supposed to be done.

But where the hell do all you guys wire up 4 guages and lights, and switches and all that shit.

I just want it wired right!

like dave had, and a lot of us accumulate over the years- is a rats nest from added shit over time.

i have yet to unfuck under my dash & gauges, but my plan is to run probably a 10awg power cable off the PDC to a distribution block where i'll tap in for everything. im gonna setup terminal blocks for power distribution, and just ground everything at random various places. im doing the terminal blocks because it's very easy to keep clean looking, and modular so when i eventually want to change something (which is highly likely) all i gotta do is add or remove blocks.

this'll give you an idea:

I wouldn't start messing with that DIN rail stuff....Old school terminal blocks is just fine for our app....
