no you can't get them at local stores....at least I never saw them. I get them from my distributor that I used when I installed car audio/video for like $2...but I don't have any on hand or I'd send one to ya. This place is awesome for everything you could need...but be careful...they have such good stuff that yur bank account will take a beating.....I spend over $8000 with them when I was building the system in my Dodge...LMAO...they also have a $25 min. order..at least they did last I ordered.

I know what you mean about those kind of places. I just found a place that makes all kinds of unique AV connections for home theater equipment. They have stuff nobody else makes, and they make their own stuff. I spent about $200 there on my first visit. I'm afraid to go back on their site now

 

for some reason I got wrapped up in the moment and bought bulk speaker wire....I still have about 300 feet left...LMAO....my wife hates me

 

Bosh relays are great. Potter & Brumfieldare very good.
Iwouldn't trust any other relays. Some times the off brands are relabled P&Bs or Bosh and are fine. Hit a junk yard and raid a fuse box as they will be relabled Bosh or P&B.... if you are installing lots of stuff, take the whole fuse box.

 

Those fuse taps would have been great for my various installs. I didnt know about them either. I just found a key-on hot wire and quick connected into it with an inline fuse. Fuse taps would have been so much quicker....[&o]

 

you learn lots of tricks when you do it for a living....professional shops have lots of cool little gadgets.
