Confusion on the wiring kit I bought

[TylerG]

I bought a Raptor PKBL6 which came with quite a bit of stuff, I was told it was a kit to wire 2 different amps through the same cables or something. But there are 2 different ground cables and 2 different power cables and a battery terminal with 5 holes for wires which I have no clue which wires I would be putting in there because every hole is a different size.

It came with 2 very thick cable that have a very large ANL fuse, I believe 200amps and I know I need to splice the wire and put the fuse within i think it was 14inches of my battery. But I have no clue about the rest because then I have another fuse block that has the very large hole on one end, and then 2 very small ones on the other end with a 100amp fuse on each small on. then I have a power distributer which has roughly 4-5 small holes with screw and then 2 large holes like the one for the 200amp cable. It all just confuses me and the audio stores around here want me to pay them just to explain the kit, and then a pretty steep payment to just lay a cable through my car. If someone could provide me with maybe the steps to this kit or what they think that would be awesome because as it stands, I'm lost and don't have anymore money for this car system.

• 17 ft. 1/0GA Clear Blue Power Cable With 3/8 Ring Terminal

• 3 ft. 1/0GA Clear Silver Ground Cable With #10 Ring Terminal

• 12 ft. 4GA Clear Blue Power Cable

• 10 ft. 4GA Clear Silver Power Cable

• ANL Fuse Holder + 200 Amp Fuse

• Two Position ANL Distribution Block With “Two” 100 Amp Fuses

• Battery Terminal

• Pos/Neg Power Distribution Block

Run the 17 feet of 1/0 to the trunk put it into the two position anl Dblock cut the blue 4 gauge in half and run that to the positive of each amp, cut the silver 4 gauge in half and run that to the ground Dblock, and use the 3ft of 1/0 ground to ground the negative. im drunk so if that makes no sense sorry.

Oh no that is actually very understandable, thank you. but the problem is you keep saying the positive and negative of the blocks...I've checked the blocoks and I'm assuming you say block in place of the distributer. It says nothing of positive and negative, it's just a hexagon with holes drilled in the sides, none of which any of them touch. so I would assume with an extremely basic knowledge of electricity, would think that would be bad to run the ground and hot through the exact same piece of metal...it's not like it has a channel for the power to go through, it's just a solid piece of metal.

the kit says it comes with two distribution blocks one with 2 fuses in it and one that is not fused at all... The fused block is for your positive line the one that does not have fuses is for your negative line

Ok, well that makes sense, just seemed like the hexagon wasn't just for negative because it had two large holes instead of one. But alright, thanks for all of your help, now I can finally finish this project.
