you can buy a kit that does almost the exact same thing at autozone.

sure, but quick disconnects are cheap as hell. Anything from autozone is going to be pricey. Hell, I haven't worked in a real install shop in a few years and I still have my my install stuff seperate from everything else. I have a fishing tackle box with all my connectors and what not seperated out and a seperate toolbox just for my stereo stuff. I've also have a couple fish tanks of wire. One filled with speaker wire and one with primary wire. I have a couple spools of primary and a box filled with connectors still in their baggies. I don't know how those happend to find their way into my possesion.

Leftovers are always cheaper and easier than autozone was my point. I got a bit sidetracked. I'm not feeling well today for some reason and am not concentrating very well. Sorry.

lol yea now that im opening a new shop i started doin that i orderd 16 plano stow-aways i just need to make something to stow them all in. its deffinalyt easier than fishing through a box for 20 mins to find a butt or a male

hell yeah. Mine is a plano double sided deal. I keep all the stuff I use often on one side and the more odd things on the other. It always sucks to have to flip it over but it beats the huge things that take up all your space. Through the years I've probably changed out organization tactics at least 10 times. I'm pretty happy with the one I have now. My Makita has shit the bed on me though. I bought new batteries for it and everything. Piece of crap. I think the charger may be bad and killing my batteries. Not sure. It's time for a new one all together I think.

What was the topic of this thread again? I'm way off track. Wiring in/around the fuse block I think.

yup that was it. i had a makita drill was actually a decent drill but the batteries had problems often now i use either the ryobi or a milwakee. im gonna design something up for the stow-aways. i have a dual sided box to but i dont like flippin it over just like you. where do you get all your connectors from?

This is all pre deployment stuff. Not very useful, it's just CYA for the Air Force. Making sure they check their boxes incase something happens.

great guys. Now if you were adding tv's in the head rest what would you guys think would be the best way to power them.

run wires from the battery and fuse them. or depending on how many i would rig up another fuse panel specificly for those.
