[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 475157, member: 24227"] A negative terminal strip makes wiring much easier but I prefer one that's separate from the fuse panel. Trying to get all of the positive and negative wires to fit inside the fuse block is tight. You can get switch panels that take standard rocker switches and have standard round openings for volt meters, USB chargers, power ports, etc. The advantage is that everything is modular. You will want a momentary single pole switch for your horn, a double pole, double throw switch for your nav. lights, and standard single pole single throw switches for everything else. It's nice being able to pop out one switch and pop in another. Not suggesting this setup or this brand, I just found the image on the internet that shows what I'm talking about.
