Message	The only thing your radio or ignition wire will do is give the relay the signal to *click* and allow the feed from directly off the battery to flow through to the fuse block. The radio wire is only keeping the relay closed, and uses neglectable power. The direct feed from the battery feeds the accessories. Just because wires and fuses that are placed have "extra room", doesn't necessarily mean you should use up the extra room they have. Leave a working thing as is, and start one fresh for all the EXTRAs you are adding. Even if you do not agree with any of my electrical reasonings, you would undoubtedly agree that it is the cleanest, and easiest to add/remove accessories.
