M2ATX + Wiring, is this right?

...but run one more 16 guage to a cig lighter (ign controlled?)

looks about right to me!

I find its cheaper and easier to just buy an Amplifier wiring kit, 4AWG, it has everything you need and then some! Oh and you dont have to run a ground wire back to the battery, a nice grounding point will do nicely

so just run the neg to the chassis (no paint etc?)

i already have the 8awg, running it into a distro block, then putting the wires that came with the m2atx into that.

That will work quite nicely.

Thanks, one more question, should I put another fuse down after the distro block (even though that's fused also?)

If you have a fuse in the distro block for that line, then no.

Ok, I seen a diagram posted in a previous thread that had 15A going to the PSU, was like wtf, I have 40a fuses on the length of the wire, oh, and it's cool to go 8AWG > Distro Block > Wires of the PSU (even though they are way smaller)?
