Good advice, already done.
Will be mocking up and hopefully installing the new battery switch, ACR and amp power cable today. Can't wait to hear this come to life.

One more comment, which I have NOT Done - have to wait for 2021 now - my amp and associated equipment are a mess - wire criss cross, some wires I'll never use, extra wire, labeling, no cable ties, etc

Wire Management, also known as cable management, is the use of specialized tools and equipment to control the direction or organization of wires or to protect the functionality of wires in an electrical system. This is done for a variety of reasons including; protecting wires from environmental hazards, simplifying the process of navigating the electrical system, and segregating wires by function or intended location using a cable organizer. The term wire management can refer to a wide range of items and tools such as that are used in the process of managing wiring systems.

Great advice.
Meticulous attention to terminations, using proper tools and products is important. Labeling wires and restraining them as well. Plan to leave enough slack to allow future maintenance, and bundle that excess in a manageable and tidy fashion helps.
