fusing a distro. block

[konechiwa 10+ year member]

Ok, so i have knukonceptz 4awg wire running from my battery to my distro block (fused at the battery), and then at the distro block their are two runs of 8awg (about 3ft. long) running to my two amps (one of them being brand new). They both have fuses on the amps, but i was wondering, should i put a fuse in both 8awg wire runs? Should i fuse them? Would it matter, because the amp itself has a fuse...

My distro block also came from knukonceptz, and has no fuse. My question is this:

Should i fuse the outputs of from the distro block, so that their is another fuse between distro and the amp itself?

Thanks

do u have fuse spots on ur power distro? most power distor block comes with fuse holders in em if ur have em fusem up. one fuse = the total of amps ont he fuses on the amp and the other doing the same. the main fuse at the battery will be the sum of ur total load.

no theirs no fuses on the distro...

could you be a little more descriptive? I don't really understand what your saying...

meaning in between the input aand the output is there a place to put a fuse in between? if not u might be using a ground distrobution block instead of a power one.

this is the one i got...now that i notice they came out with a fused one (it wasn't their when i ordered my stuff about 1 month ago).

However, it doesn't say anywhere that it is for "ground", and their also is another for ground....

It HAS worked before.
