Connecting four (4) accessories to battery. Proper way?

I already have AMP Power Steps and a JL Audio subwoofer connected to the battery of my 2015 All Terrain 6.2. I'm planning to get both a Morimoto HID kit and a light bar, both of which will need power runs to the battery as well.

 

Can I use the same terminal for multiple accessories? If not, is anybody aware of whether with the standard battery configuration in the truck, there is a suitable way to power all 4 accessories? Failing that, does anybody have recommendations on a power distribution block and the best place to mount it?

 

In short, the question is: what is the best way to connect four after market accessories to the battery?

 

Thanks.

i think you can, but would put more ware on the battery... i know in my 16, i have an extra tray for another battery.. you ever thought of putting another in the truck.. maybe tieing them together for added power.?..

What terminal? Some of these have teminals for add-on right at the fuse box. I think both of mine are fused 40A?

 

The best thing would be a 30A relay fed direct from the battery (with an appropriate fuse) and the "switched" side powered from the fuse box. Takes the load off the fuse box and places it at the battery.
