Ok, I'm starting to map out how i'm gonna hook up my A/V equiptment. I pretty much have an idea on how everything is gonna be connected but my only problem now is power. I'm a little electrically challenged so I'm looking for some help regarding wiring, fuses, and such. First let me tell you what I'm gonna be running and how..
3 - 7.2 in LCD screens which run about 7watts
1 - A/V switcher that will allow each monitor to view a source independantly from the others. Think the specs on this said it runs about 3watts
1 - Digital FM hardwired modulator. Think this runs about 3-5 watts.
1 - IR transmiiter for wireless headphones. This also is probably around 3-5watts.
1 - Tv tuner, about 5 watts.
1 - Portable DVD player (this I'm actually gonna run from the 12v in the middle glove box between the seats)
1 - PS2. For this I want to setup a power inverter with 2 outlets. Not sure on the wattage of the inverter I'm going with yet.
Now I found out through some research that my best bet would be to run a distribution block. It seems that I found one that has fuses and allows you to ground from it as well. Question is what gauge wires would I use, what wires would I connect to what, and what fuses would I use for each component if any??
Here's the distribution block I'm looking to use and it's specs

Streetwires CBR44A Combo Fused Distribution Block is an ideal power distribution solution for anyone who needs efficient, protected power transfer to multiple amplifiers (up to four), and who wants a clean, high-profile look to their installation.
"Connect a power cable from your battery to the set-screw input — the Power Ring® input accepts any gauge cable. Then run power cables and ground cables from up to four amplifiers to the compact, machined-brass block. The positive and negative outputs accept 4-gauge or 8-gauge cables. Finally, run a single ground wire (any gauge into the Power Ring® input) out to a bolt on your chassis, or back to the negative terminal on your battery.
The Combo Fused distribution block has a highly-conductive, corrosion-resistant Diamond Plate Nickel finish with gold details for premium power transfer with minimal voltage loss, and show-quality appearance. (You will need to purchase separately AGU fuses for your amplifiers, as well as a pair of power rings.)"
Any help would be appreciated
