Hey guys. As some of you know my car is bagged however I've hit a problem when running two compressors. I'm upgrading the wiring to a thicker gauge and running a relay due to fuses constantly being blown and excessive heat being produced (fire hazard). Anyway, everything with regards to it is fairly straight forward besides the issue of tapping into accessories in the boot. Are there any sources in the boot or in close proximity of the boot? Worst case scenario I'd run a wire from the cig lighter but would prefer not to if a source is closer. Cheers

Another quick question (which may sound stupid so beware) is it possible to run a distribution box but with accessories instead of constant? Reason I ask is all of my LCDs are running from one accessory wire and I'm planning on running another two LCDs in the boot and possibly more in the cabin. Cheers
