I'm not looking for a 0gauge block, but rather one for 8ga in, to 14/18 gauge out. Seems everything is 0/4/8 in and 0/4/8 out. anyone know of this unicorn I seek? The output side will be be LED lights, so not a huge draw on them. This will go into a fuse box with relays then to switches.

TIA

1 input, and 6-8 connections out. I like the bus bar idea. I'll just have to hide it somewhere less likely to get crap on it.

Here's what I used. 8GA in and 14-16 out. Also has separate bus for grounds.

I'm putting something in to hold relays and fuses, otherwise I'd be all over that. Unless I ran relays in the HWB60, and left the fuses in the one you recommended. The advantage of the hbw60 is everything is horizontal and compact. the blue sea fuse block is as big as the other unit so I'd have to find a place to mount 2 pieces, not just one. The busbar is small and compact and I've already figured out a way to mount it along side the HBW60 unit.

This is what I have already: https://www.amazon.com/Littelfuse-HWB60-Distribution-Module-Terminals/dp/B0764PPDK7

Check out the Blue Sea Systems stuff. It's a little more expensive, but it's all marine rated and very high quality. I'm using a bunch of their stuff in my trailer and a coupel on my truck.

Ran across some of the Littelfuse & Bussmann vehicle fuse, power distribution blocks when wiring in an inverter.
Picked up an inline MIDI fuse holder and CBPFM.
Inline midi® fuse holder - Littelfuse
Power Fuse Module (CBPFM)

Had me wondering if Littelfuse owned Blue Sea as some of their products looked nearly the same.
Appears Littelfuse just supplies some products for Blue Sea.

Littelfuse LX, XT Power Distribution Modules and Blue Sea Safety Hub 100, 150

Amazon search for Bussmann 15303 and fuse relay box turned up some good ideas for possible use later on.
