So many Yellow (12v+) wires! Can I twist them all together?

[JLS24 10+ year member]

Starting the plan to put my system together, here are some of my componets:

Pioneer 880 prs

Pioneer Ipod adapter

Pioneer Sirius Tuner

PAC SWC

All of the item have yellow power wire along with the grounds, so that 5 of each if you include the factory harness. Can I just twist them all together? They all have fuses on them , and the same for the grounds. Any help is appreciated.

sure... as long as the wire that feeds them is big enough to carry the total amperage load.

I hope when you say twist...you mean But-connect/Solder.

yeah total up the ratings of the fuses on each one, and make sure it doesnt exceed the rating of the fuse in the fusebox for the facory power wire... if so, might want to run a new wire for all ur accessories

run em off a relay

they are the always-on power supply wires, not the switched power so there is no need for a relay
