    So I'm planning on getting a taco tunes box and a sub,some HID halos, auxiliary reverse lights, and a light bar. And I'm thinking to myself that that is gonna be a lot of fuses wiring and relays and cables running to the positive terminal of my battery! Is there a better way to do this so I don't strain it? I do have a really good battery it's a Bosch AGM glass mat battery. Do you think that it can handle all these accessories?

    Don't run everything to the battery with inline fuses. Put in an auxiliary fuse panel.

    Is there a thread on this site for a tutorial or maybe a YouTube vid?

    This one shows a few examples. The OP shows the Bussman panel which is more resistant to the elements. Page 2 has some examples of the Blue Sea panels. Either one is pretty much one main power wire (and one main ground depending on model) then just wire in the accessories you want.
    The Bussman, while more expensive, is the cleaner and more protected choice especially since you can have your needed relays in the panel instead of outside like is needed on the Blue Sea panel. I went cheap and got the Blue Sea, but will be upgrading eventually.
