lil help - is this right? (hc600 wiring)

[Sofakingrich 10+ year member]

So i have a hc1800 up front and have just bought 2 hc600's to run in the back.

The power line is fused up front, near the battery and then runs to the back to a fused distro block.

Can I just use this 3 way (non fused) distro block that I have and wire the hc600's inline just before the fused distro block? (its literally guna be less then a foot of wire)

Or do I have to do something else?

Do I fuse the inline wire from the hc600's, If I do any clue on the size fuse?

actually I dont need the distro block right?

I just run the existing wire to the + terminal of 1 of the hc600's and then run a short wire to the 2nd hc600 and then run a wire from that hc600 into the fused distro block.

Do I need to fuse that though or am I good to go?

fuse all power wires that are coming off a + post on a battery within 18".

ok thanks, any clue on the size I need to buy or how to work it out?

If you're going to have the 600's next to each other, then fusing between them is not needed. Only fuses you'll need are (2) on the power wire from primary battery to your secondaries, and fuses from the secondaries to your amps.

Do i use the same size fuse as I have up front, for the back batteries?

fuse it to the size/length of wire you have. the fuse is there in case of a short and the reason why they are so close to the batteries is for when the fuse blows electricity stops going to the short thus stopping a possible fire
