[QUOTE="GSG2Teg, post: 8486392, member: 666289"] I think I get what you are saying. I am currently using an older Streetwires bus fuse style distribution block in the back. 4 - neg. and 4 - positive outs. I believe it can handle 0 gauge in, and 4 out. I am currently using 8 gauge with the 30 amp fuses for the tiny Alpine amplifiers at this location. Like you said they are a smaller load. I was hoping to get away with the 4 gauge run, add an anl fuse and distribution point up front and at most add 0 gauge from the battery to the new/upfront distributor. I might just do a full 0 gauge run, add a 250 ANL first, a new distribution point for "car fuse box" (it's already fused at 70) and for the amp run in the back(140), then have the distribution point in the back for the amps. I probably should say the new distribution point will most likely be a 4-port MANL style (150 for amp run if I can get away with it, and 70 for car). And thank you on the suggestion for the new amp gauge. [/QUOTE]
