secondary fuse box power source question

[demonicdragon]

Will your alternator handle the extra load you intend to add to it?

[demonicdragon]

oh yeah. thats not a problem

[IowaEagle]

I am thinking you could, are you also going to fuse the 8 ga primary?

[demonicdragon]

most likely for a secondary backup for my accessories.

OK -- now you have me intrigued as to why? 

[demonicdragon]

why? why what? why the scondary fuse box? im tired of running wires to the battery or pulling power from the orginal fuse box. so i figure ill just put a fuse box in my passenger kickpanel since i no longer have my computer

I wouldn't.  The ignition post is not for feeding power but for power to be fed to it, if that makes sense. Your best bet would be to use a relay that will energize with the ignition on.

I agree, that would be a better way to go.
