   a few options,
   
   1- actually get an alarm?
   2- get a red LED and poke her through
   3- dont bother with any of this

    the typical ones are buttons / swithces for push button start, subs, lights.
    i 1 swtich for 1 amp
    1 switch for 2nd amp
    
    
    dont know what to put in others, switch for voltmeter is on interior light, so thats not needed . . .
    its good to see what other peopel have done, to get a few ideas, but not many people come up with somethign new
