I need to split one power wire source to 4 supplies. These are low current devices, about 18g wire for a screen, dvd player, and aux. input device. Should I use a dist. block or just bundle all the wires together? I can't find any dist. blocks for smaller 18g wire. The ones I have seen are 4g for monster cable and amps etc. thanks

You can split it or use a relay to split the wire.

Any electronics store will carry them, Also Home Depot has them in their electrical department.

They are called barrier terminal strips. Or you could just use a large wire nut and tie them all together...

I would recommend the Barrier strip method. It makes for a neater job and if you ever decided to change anything it would be real easy. The only downfall is that some cars dont have a good spot to mount one. Well theres my 2 cents.
