If one fuse in a distro block blows, will power not go through the other fuse?

The reason i am asking is that neither one of my amps is powering on. I can tell that my component amp fuse isn't blown, but I cannot tell for sure on my sub amp fuse.I currently do not have any extra fuses, if I did i'd just replace both and see what happens.

No, power would still flow through the other one.

Do you have any way to check the fuse? A meter, a continuity tester, or anything like that? Or a voltmeter to check for voltage on the output side of the distro block?

problem solved...my remote wire from the Headunit had gotten loose and was touching the ground to one of my amps. I was beating on my system pretty hard Saturday in almost 100 degree heat and that caused my remote wire to melt to my ground..

Got it all fixed now.

If the circuit is complete current is going to flow...
