[QUOTE="GreenBook, post: 5255424, member: 603834"] You don't plan on attaching your power wire to your fuse box do you? That's not a very good idea. It makes it too easy to have something bad happen, and potentially fry your whole fusebox or start a fire. Hook the amp pwr wire directly to the positive battery terminal. If you can't get the wire on there because it has funky terminals, they sell adapters to make it work. The fuse in your fusebox is fine as is, because that fuse is there in case of a spike in amperage going into your fusebox, preventing the rest of the fusebox from overloading. You don't neccesarily need a fused distribution block, you can use multiple in-line fuses. A fused block is just more conveinient and makes it so there isn't so much clutter on the wiring. Any halfway decent 1/0 distribution block will include adapters or setscrews that allow you to fit a 4g wire into it.
