2nd - Do your research to determine the Full Load Amps of each piece of equipment.
3rd - Total up your loads. ( this tells you how big of wire you need, and the fuse size, for the main conductor.
4th - ( From the list ) Decide how many switches and relays you need. { Make sure the relay sizes match the load }.
5th - Figure what size box(s) and where to put the relay(s) and fuse(s) and switche(s)
6th - ( From the list AND physical locations of relay, fuses and switches ) Figure wire sizes and lengths. And fuse sizes.
7th - Figure all the extras. IE; wire loom, wire terminals, electrical tape, shrink tube, ect, ect.
Last - Install and have fun.

Since his wire isn't big enough, in mine do I need to replace the inline fuse wire with a bigger guage wire and keep the 6 wires the way they are that are connected to it?
