power distribution block question

[phish368 10+ year member]

Can i connect the power wire of a processor (PXA-H701) to the same power distribution block that my amps are connected to? I only ask because the power cable used for the processor is around a 16-gauge and the power cables used for my amps are an 8-gauge. Would make it alot easier to mount the processor in the trunk if i can use the same distribution block and not run new wires from the front to the back.

is the distribution block fused?

No sir. it is not. But the power wire for the processor has an in-line fuse.

I see no problem with doing that. Heck, I have even piggy backed other low amperage devices with a power amplifier power wire because I was short on dedicated spots in the distribution block. I've also piggy backed things like a trunk popping solenoid.
