[DeTomaso] Electrical question

[Julian Kift]

I would be wary of installing a 30 amp fuse for multiple low current devices as you won't necessarily have protection on an individual basis, unless the devices have an internal fuse. For best protection install a lower amperage fuse in line prior to each outlet, or run separate outlets from the individual fuses in the panel.

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.
