Good afternoon - I'm building a small sound cart set up: Ive been talking to American Sound recordist Jim Keany
Building around the idea of been able to quickly break the bag away from the cart with minimal Fuss.

As you can see my rig is a bit smaller but very similar.
Bag:
-An 833 (SL-2 - 2x src's - 2 x Betso Sharks) G4 Coms
Cart:
Icon M+ Controll Surface
Black magic Duo monitors
LED light strip
Usb Hub
My problem at the moment is Power distribution: It looks like Jim is using his PSC life bat - into a AR VmDbox then out to the bag and various components.
I've been talking to PSC about using their Tripple play distrobox with their life battery but he replied with:"Both the Large 4 Pin XLR and the mIni 4 Pin XLRs are wired with the pins doubled up. Each of the mini XLR inputs on the Triple play is only good for about 7 amps, so if you want to supply more current than that, you should have a cable made that has a full size XLR 4 pin on one end and have it “Y” out to mini XLR 4 pins on the other end."
This leaves me a bit stumped - ive attached a block diagram of how I would like this set you to function but as is obvious by now, I'm a bit out mydepth are Power Distro.
Thanks for your time and any suggestions are welcome
