[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8524672, member: 658055"] Like BSchrowang said, it'll work, but it's ghetto. The ideal way to do it is with fused distro blocks. Each time you reduce the gauge it needs its own applicable fuse. If a smaller wire shorts in this configuration it could pose a fire hazard as it'll burn up long before the main fuse blows. When you're dealing with these sized wires it's annoying when you consider purchasing distros, fuses, terminals, etc. because the hardware typically costs more than the wire. You can do it, just be careful to run the wire out of the way of anything that could damage it. Use cheap split loom tubing on tight squeezes and plenty of wire ties. [/QUOTE]
