A Little Wiring Help

I'm planning on re-wiring everything in my POV to make it neater. My original plan was to use barrier strips (already have them on hand) and wire everything to that. One would be positive and the other would be ground. For now all I have is a Whelen Slimlighter, Whelen 700s and Feniex T-6s connected to a Whelen ULF44, 4 Strobes N' More Mini E6s, strobes in the reverse lights, and Whelen TIR3s with a PA300. I plan to add a Whelen Liberty, and switch the PA300 out with a Whelen 295SL101 and hook up my Alpha 22Q. A Brookings BR-970S switchbox will be added also. I want to hear you guys' input about what else I should use (fuses, relays, etc.). Any diagrams would be helpful.

I personally like to use solid state relays on my power leads, just to make sure I'm not pulling too many amps through my switches.

Make sure if you use SSR's to get them higher rated than you need. SSR's can generate quite a bit of heat, especially when pushed close to their amp rating. They are very fast switching though, you can use them on the outputs of your ULF44 and push as many amps as you want, all sync'd up.

keep the same siren....Whelen tones are not very good like FS tones...if you want omre power change your speaker with An AS124 in the front grille , also keep the whelen 700's or change them with led ones..

The siren I have now is only 100 watts and I have 4 AS124s on my truck but only one is being used right now, hence why I plan on replacing it with a 200 watt siren.
