divider/distributor for small gauge wire?

[1two3 16]

im looking into adding lights under my dash and posibly around my sub/amp in the future.  i remmeber seeing somewhere on here that u can buy an adapter/distributor/divider that you would hook one end up to power (bus bar, distibution block ect.) and from there it divides into say 10 different slots that you could connect small gauge wires too and fuse them.

 

anybody have any idea what im talking about/any idea where i could get my hands on one?

All you need is a fused terminal block, or fuse panel, etc. . .   Google will help you.  If that doesn't try DelCity, Allelectronics, etc. . .

i ran one on my black town car for all my TV's .. i mounted it in the glove box, so i could check the fuses with ease, and was able to fuse all my TVS and ad more stuff if i wanted to

Thanks guys.

 

also will be hooking up computer fans to this to cool down the amps.  im curious to see who has had what experience with what products/combinations to hook theirs up.

They make multi position strips called barrier or terminal strips.

 

You must supply your own in-line fusing but we are talking dollars.. almost free.

 

Also, for fans, stick with what is made for the car, not for computers.

 

Many pc electronics have STRICT 12v tolerances and bumping them up to the 14s will likely kill most products.

 

Not all pc fans are as strict but if they do not tell you the actual working range, assume it will not work in a vehicle.
