[DeTomaso] Electrical question

[Christopher Kimball]

Either way will work, just be sure if you run to the battery directly you put the fuse holder right at the battery terminal and not at the socket end.  Also, use a heavy gauge wire in case you ever use the outlets for something which draws significant amperage.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Electrical question

My least favorite part of cars, the electrical system.
Next weekend we're doing a Rally and Ill need my Valentine One, GPS and
Phone all day. Since I replaced the console cig. Lighter/Acc 12v outlet
with a push button for the starter, I have no 12v source.
So I have purchased a triple 12v outlet box and plan to run it under the
dash out of sight.  I have  Pantera Electronics fuse panel.
My question from those in the know, should I run a dedicated wire set
directly to the battery with an inline 30 amp fuse holder or run a line
over to the fuse box?
My inner problem solver says keep it simple and run a dedicated line.
I do plan to keep it in place afterwards.
