fuses and wiring

[aj813 10+ year member]

I'm hooking up a Rockford power series set up in my Nissan titan. (2) 4 channel amps, and a mono amp. The mono amp (T1000-1bd) is recommended with 4 awg wire and 150A fuse and each of the (2) 4 channel amps are recommended with also 4 awg wire and 80A fuses. So I was thinking about running 1/0 awg from my yellow top with a 300A fuse 18" from my battery to a distribution block by my set up, and then from the distribution block I'm gonna drop down to the recommended 4 awg to my mono amp with a 150A fuse between the distribution block and the amp. And then from the same bistribution block, I want to continue 1/0 awg to a 2nd distribution block and then drop down to 4 awg from the second distribution block to the (2) 4 channel amps with 80A fuses between the distribution block and amps. Does this sound logical?

I'd use Rockford Fosgate RFD4 0 1 4 Gauge GA AWG Car Audio Distribution Block 1 in 3 Out | eBay

I'd fuse before the distro block depending on how good the wire is, 150 amp fuse.

I'd also go no further than 12" from the battery not 18.

Yeah, this.. I sometimes use double sided foam tape onto the site of the battery to mount it.

you shouldnt need to fuse at the rear unless you have a battery or cap back there that you didnt mention.

I am hooking up a 1 farad digital cap but only for the mono amp
