I want to install LED tubes under the dash and front seats, then LEDS in the A/C vents, cupholders, door pockets, speaker grills, and subwoofer grill.Ive already figured out the wiring method and the resistors i will need but if i have two constant rocker switches and a street glow sound module WHAT SIZE FUSE WILL I NEED? are there any empty places i could install a new fuse or will i need a secondary mini-fuse box??not really related but after installing two 10" kicker subs, should i leave the factory sub in and connected or do something else with it?? any thoughts cuz idk what i want to do.

How many circuits are you planning for the LED's?? Just one, or are you planning on having multiple switches to you can tailor your light? LED don't require much, you could start with a 5A fuse and see where that gets you, if that WORKS, then you could try a 3A fuse and see if you have any problems.. and so on... You want to be fused just above rated... AFA the sub, disconnect it..

Sublimewind: I was planning on two constant circuits with some of the lights and an additional circuit run from a streetglow sound module switch. Why disconnect the stock sub? Just wondering. It wouldnt add power to the door speakers or anything would it?

Disconnect the stock sub, because it likely sounds worse than the 2-10's.. it also drains power from the car doing so... no need for it.. You could run a heavy constant circuit to a central location and then run mutiple switched circuits off from it too, if you liked.. so say you wanted just the lights under the seats on, you could do that.. You could even have them set up so that they came on with the doors opening, and you could switch them on at any time... It really depends on how far you want to go... I just bought a bunch of round rocker switches for my Subie, I'm going to put in a bank of 6 I think... not all will be used right now, but when it's time, I'm already ready already... lol... I also have one of these nifty fuse blocks from Blue Sea Systems http://bluesea.com/category/5/21/productline/126It's going to be the "hub" of my car... I'm actually going to run all of my audio/video from it, including my amps (which are fused at a mere 20a on the largest amp)
