ahh. well that sounds like it will work to me. depending on the quality of the terminal in question you might want to buy a better one. up to you

ok just checkin.. what size fuses should i run in the distro?

if the distro will be close to the amps, you do not need a fused one:fyi:

 

[bsean63 10+ year member]

really? but wouldnt it be safer to have one?

i would fuse the wire anyways. what if it comes loose? i would do 150a inline for the monoblock, and maybe 80a for whatever smaller amp you get. i dunno if they make 80a anls though.

i have 2x 300a between batteries and 150a inline to both amps

i was told to have 150 inline and 2 300a in the distro??????

i think 150a would be fine for you
