Default accessory power

I posted this in the stero/elec. section, just wanted to post it here too to see if I can get some more info. I usually just look at the texas forum and rarely the others, so this is for those like me.

Im worried about drawing too much power from one wire, I think it would be better to hook up a relay with some thicker gauge and have a couple 12v ACC outputs.
What do you guys think?, can I get the 12v from the inside fusebox, how should I hook up the "junction block", would it be okay to do this, one commom 12v wire?
Or, how do you guys wire up the ACC wire when you have several components?
Thanks
