getting any extra electrical vehicle noise in that radio?

Thanks to all for your kind words.

No Noise. The 8 ga. wire and connecting both sides to the battery probably helps. The Honda electrics are quiet.

I was guided largely by this informative article:

http://www.k0bg.com/wiring.html

All connections were both crimped and soldered, and ends were tinned. A "must have" is the heavy duty crimping tool shown in the pics (Parts Express). You also need the cable cutter to cut the power cable (665 strands X 36 ga.) in order to keep from crushing it, and the automatic wire stripper to keep from nicking it (Radio Shack or Parts Express).

I know that this is overkill for a mere CB radio -- but it would have been just as much work to do it with zip cord. I used 8 ga. because it is the largest size that will fit thru the pre-existing accessory firewall hole. Plus, now I have the capacity for more power later.

If anyone knows of distribution blocks other than the really large Bussman and Littlefuse blocks that are show in the article -- let me know. I ended up using the dual fuse blocks Parts Express), which are shown attacked to the base of the center console.
