For something that simple i would think that a local hardware store would be best. As long as you can buy the wire in sections that you cut from their bulk instead of having to buy 100' of wire for a project that requires 10'. I would think they should have the fuses and quick disconnects that you'll need also. At least my local hardware store does.

Hey DM...I used speaker wire and a 12v switch from FF. Check out radio shack they have lots of parts.Would like to get together with you and Jim and chase pannies.

Radioshack should have everything you need. I've done it a couple times and have gotten everything from there.

Can't take credit for the design, but works great. Everything came from either RShack or FF.

I've found its easier to just buy the spool of wire and the big box of connectors right off the bat. that way you have them for whenever you need them. I cant count how many times I've needed a chunk of wire or a new end on a wire and was able to just grab off the spool hanging on the wall or out of the box in the drawer.
