ABT: Wiring 12v

[olds]

I would have said YABT but I have yet to see many boat threads. 🙂
I have an 8 gauge wire that feeds my amp. I want to "T" off of it to power an accessory. Is there some type of connector that can be used for this? Soldering would be difficult as I have to lay on my back to see the wire so I'd like to crimp it. It doesn't get wet there.
I don't want to use a regular blade tap as they never seem to hold up. Something shaped like a T would be perfect.

I could make this work, the blocks seem big.

I just used a ground distribution block as a power distribution block since I have inline fuses. The block is approximately 2"x1".

The amp is about 15 feet away. The battery is 6 feet the other way.
