[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 3725873, member: 584344"] I have 2 Gauge Power cable run down split with a Power Post. [basically a cheap man's distro block that works off the same principle, except a lot less safe [Physically]. It's a plastic block with basically a bolt sticking out of it, you put the wires on terminals and slide it on the bolt. Anyway, at the power post it's split to two 8AWG wire to each of my amps. I haven't put in fuses yet [i just got some money] And I was looking at inline fuses and didn't know which to put each. I already have a 50 AMP circuit breaker maybe 6" from the battery. So, I just need a rear inline fuse for the 2=AWG wire and should I put one on each of the 8-AWG wires going to my amps? Also, what Amp fuses should I run? Someone told me 140-Amp for the 2-AWG should be fine [i'm running a 1200-Max Mono Block [split to 300x2 @ 2-ohm] + 520-Max [104x4 @ 4-Ohm] amps] But, that power post scares me a little bit. When I get some more money I think I'm gunna get an actual distro block. I know the power-post is actually safe since I've used it dozens of times before [Except on boats, I'm a boat mechanic by trade. I work for Boat Mechanic place over the summer] And also, if I should run fuses in the 8-AWG wires, what Amps should I put in each? [/QUOTE]
