bob..
I'll post up my plans before buying a ton of junk that will not work..
you will see a diagragm before going live.
Long story short..
I'm doing a custom Oval.. there's a center dash grille with a speaker.. I'm going to pull the grille and make it an LED/Breaker panel.. hinge the lower.. My guess is that the entire set of circuits can be hosted on this panel..

In a house, it's widely accepted that after 5 pops they should be swapped..
Guessing that when something pops the breaker there's something really bad.
