Ground block - no fuses needed on ground

Positive Fuse block - I say yes, reason being if you have multiple amps and need to pull one out for a problem or locate a problem within the system, you can eaisly kill power to that circuit and still operate the rest of the system without a live wire hanging around.

AGU fuses wont work for you install - Your Lanzar has 120A total Fuse Rating (30*4 = 120) And the Polk has 60A total fuse draw. AGU fuses come at a max of 80A (due to thermal limits) Someone was making 100A AGU fuses, but I dont know if I would use them knowing full well the standard limit is 80A.

The 4pc and 5pc is the number of fuses sold in the price listed on that site, some places sell in packs of 4 fuses, others have 5 packs.

I may be a bit bias on your choice of blocks, but think you could certainly find a better match at a better price then the Streetwires block. Say like this one:

Or the Stinger SHDA2 (Online in the $40 range with digital display), for $32 the Streetwires block is a bit over priced with just AGU fuses.

Check here - same block with MIDI/AFS Fuse and cheaper then PE
