Help with Scenario Pls

scenario:

alpine cda-9833 required that i purchase sepereate 10 Guage amp kit to run power directly to positive battery terminal. this kit also houses an appropriately sized inline fuse holder.

this weekend i am going to add a 4 guage power wire / ground, new battery terminals, a 150 Inline Fuse Holder, and then the power line will run just inside the car to a distribution block. the distribution block i purchased has outputs for 0, 4, and i believe 8 guage wiring.

question:

i think i already the answer to my question, just want to verify as this is dealing with electrical issues.

can i move the 10 guage power line along with inline fuse holder from the positive battery terminal inside the car and just run it from my distribution block that i will be installing? or is it recommended to run directly from the battery?

the distribution block will be installed behind my glove compartment, a shorter distance to the head unit than even the battery is.

thanks,

gary

I think that will work just fine, but wait for some other opinions...

do it, thats fine. The distro is basically an extention of your battery anyway.
