the only thing i can add to the setup is change the single 10 gauge wire to 4/5 long sections of 14 gauge wire and instead of loops crimped on, crimp on forks, or at least cut the end of the loops so you don't have to remove the nuts to change the plugs.
then hook the 14Ga wires to individual fuse holders with 20 amp fuses for each plug.

this is a little more time consuming, but 10 gauge wire is difficult to get solid crimps to stay on, and 14 is easy. also, 14 is less expensive to buy, and makes it easy to test which plug is dead or failing when they go bad.

advance auto sells a 6 circuit fuse block you can feed with a single #10 wire and set individual fuses to each circuit... really smooth looking and functioning!
