Daniel,

If you use a 12 volt DC relay you don't need a resistor.  Automotive relays,
headlight for example, should have plenty of contact rating for most
accessory applications.  If you have a high power audio amplifier I would
probably connect that directly to the battery because it should have its own
switch triggered by a low power lead from the radio.

Hello All,
  I was wondering if it would be possible to hook up a relay to control
an accessory fuse block?  Would this even be a good idea?  I don't see
why it would be bad yet.  On hooking up the relay I am thinking that I
might need some kind of resistor on the 'sense' side of the relay, after
the relay to ground to limit the current?
          Thanks,
