I want to run an Aux, fuse box to run the aftermarket stereo.
I don't want to molest the OEM fuse box as I want to keep the car in OEM spec as much as possible.
I've run new battery cables in 0 ga.
From the + side Terminal that I have a 4ga. wire, inline fused @ 60amp. That runs to a able Splitter Distribution Block. I've run an 8ga. wire to the amp.
I'd like to run a 2nd 8ga. wire to an Toggle Switch, then to a Fuse Box. I do not want the stereo run off the Acc. circuit.
QUESTION: Do I need to put an inline fuse ahead of the Toggle switch? If so how many amps? Maybe 20 amps?
Toggle switch tend to run from 5 -25 amp. ratings. What amp rating would you suggest?
The stereo head unit has a 10 amp. fuse. I believe power antennas are 10 amp. fuses. Those will most likey all that will be running off the aux, box for now.
