...Will also replace this distribution block when i find something more professional. I really dont like this kind of blocks. The car-stereo guys probably have something more useful for this...

Ivar, I saw your post at FDS and though I would give you this suggestion for making distribution blocks.

I use a 5/8" square pine block cut to length topped with a piece of 1/16"x1/2" aluminum bar stock. Just drill holes and use #6 screws and you have a very neat and orderly buss block.

Thanks for the tip Michal:)

Absolutely an easy and secure way to connect several wires to one.

The stuff I used here is often a big cause to house-fires so it is just a temporary solution. I dont know the english word for this piece. Can you tell me?

Thanks:)

I will fire up the backlighting tonight when it gets dark, and share a picture with you guys:)

I call it a buss bar.

I have several I use. A pair for 5VDC, 12VDC, and 24VDC. I don't share grounds nor float them.
