Distribution blocks

hey guys i was wondering what is a good brand for good distribution blocks for my battery. i want sumthing that i can attach smaller guage wires to, u know for all my leds and **** but one for thicker guage wires too, i dont know alot about these so these questions prob sound pretty dumb.

so any advice on what u guys do or any tips u can give me on what not to do would be greatly appreciated

any brand is as good as the rest. Just find one that has the right inputs and outputs for the right price. If it's for lots of LED's and little things you might want to look at barrier strips. They sell them at Radio Shack as well as many other places. They are a little big, but they work

there is no better... it's a chunk of metal... with screws... really... that's it...

ahh ok well i have a barrier strip, but whats the best place to put it, im gonna buy another so i have and neg barrier strip and a pos, but i want it to be concealed sumwhere so u cant see it and i dont want it in the trunk, im big on consealing things when i do them.

my plan is like most others to use leds. most ppl put cathodes under their dashes and things like that, i dont wanna have to deal with cathodes right night, im looking for suddle lighting in my car, thats where the leds come in. so im am gonna drill hole and i bought nice mounts for my leds the black plastic ones and im gonna line them under my dash instead.

anyone have a clue on how many would be good?

I will assume you bought phil's...if so they are pretty darn bright so you wont need many.

yeah i did by phils i got 20 blue and 20 greenso i was think mabye 10 on each side 5 blue 5 green mabye

only problem is the viewing angle, and if you're putting them under the dash for leg lighting, you'll want to have them farther away from the floor. too close and you'll just have a colored circle on your matts.

But i put 4 on each side of my seat, front and both sides.. and it lit up the floor pretty good with glow.. it was a solid glow about half way up the front mats and then just a suddle glow faded the rest of the way up. if i woulda have put another four up front i woulda had the hole area covered.

hmm those are leds in ur pic? i just looked in my car and i found a speaker on the passenger side uneder my dash no clue whats its fopr it can swivle up and down so i dont know. but besides that, there is no place to mount on the passenger side so i need to make a mount for it, i think plexiglass will do and right side is similiar. but im thinking i can hook up like 5 blue 5 green on each side like is aid and mount all the blue to one switc and all green to another so i can change

only the red is LEDS the blue is a neon tube.
