adding 12v outlet and switch
I think I've got this all figured out, but wanted to run it by the good forum folks to see if I'm missing anything. I want to add a 12v outlet near my radio, and a cutoff switch for the radio itsel...

I think you have the wiring layout right. Ideally, I would want two switches, one to control 12V to the radio and one to control 12V to the power ports and the gauge but your circuits will work.
Do you know how to solder? In this application, a soldered connection may be more durable than a crimped connector.
The reason for wanting 2 switches, is that just to avoid "leaking" power when not in use? I'd like to keep USBs separate to charge phones overnight, but without the radio all lit up.
I've never soldered wire before, but plenty of copper water pipes. Pretty similar?
The reason I figured crimped would be fine is because that's how the radio connections were already done, from the dealer (TT was purchased new).
