the 10's are just the main feeds... most of the switch/signal wiring will be 14 to 18 gauge, depending on amp load/citcuit...

I edited the message prior to the last one you posted...
technically, I could run both pos and neg off a simple power post for each.. and that is still a possibility if the busbar proves too big..
all the power is just coming from the 10 gauge red, a single source... the power is being fed to the series of circuit breakers behind the switches... which yes, you could piggyback all the feed sides of the breakers with a series of jumpers...
if i can fit the bus bar, it just gives me that added flexability of some extra hookup spots, but isn't a necessity..

The bus would also simplify the individual circ. right? Piggy backin the pos would put all the breakers and switches in the same circ...troubleshooting would be a nightmare...
I think im gonna run two bus bars in my cab switch console...one pos and one neg...(single feed wires obviously) that way, if say, my fog lights aren't workin, I can visual check its one ground, and pos hookup...

nah, the individual breakers determine the actual circuit... it's just the power feeding the breakers... if anything fails, it'll just trip that individual breaker..
because technically, the whole vehicle is one big circuit being fed by a single source... the bus bar just gives you a bit more flexability in how and where you feed your power/grds...
I'll be sure to document that all well with pics for you guys.... it's really no different than when i build AC/DC systems on the boats..
notice the back of this panel, how a single feed bar is powering all the breakers in that row...
