Power Distribution Box Question

[ThePie]

Hello,

I am trying to find a power distribution box that has 1 input which can handle at least a 4 gauge wire and has multiple outputs which can accompadate 4 gauge, 6 gauge, 16 gaguge and 20-24 gauge. Having a distribution box that has built in fuses is a plus. Also having something that looks a bit "fancy" would be nice as well.

I created a quick diagram of what I'm looking for below.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can purchase something like this or have a link to a direct product?

I really like Knukonceptz fused distro blocks. They use compression fittings, which work very well and mini ANL fuses. The fittings are for 8 gauge and larger, though. You could use a ring or spade terminal on small gauge wires with inline fuses and connect them under the screws upstream from the mini anl fuses. It's not the cleanest setup, but it'd work and it's not too pricey.

Distribution / Fuse Blocks (you can also get them on Amazon and eBay from them for roughly the same price)

My installer guy bought the big 0AWG install kit from Knukonceptz with cables, distro boxes, fuses, etc.

I'm liking the SafetyHub 150 Fuse Block. Out of curiosity are there any members around here that are using this? Was more so looking for some sweet pictures. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

^ way more expensive than necessary.

KonFUSED 3 Way Fuse or Ground Distribution Block - Merchandise

Get that. you can tie the little ones(20/16awg) in with an amp pos or directly with the 4 or 6 or 8 awg compression fitting

Ya I can see your point. I was more focused on having all the fuses in one place now given the option instead of having a bunch of inline fuses that you would have to check.

People do make custom blocks that can hold whatever you want. And etch the cover for whatever you want.

Are they made in USA? I thought they were imported? SoundDrive has Made in USA RCAs.

Is that why you have all made in China Alpine?

And they are not machined by DH. They are a vender.

Many fabricators COULD have made me what I was looking for, yes. But was a word of mouth from my installer guy that sold me. He recommended them, and he was kinda surprised (as was I) at the $227 they quoted me to get them all made up fit to length, including 4 Y connectors (I have two amps). And a DSP with 8 outputs! So I got quite a few custom made RCA cables.

I bit the Made In China bullet bullet when I went with Alpine. I had to also bite the Made In China bullet to get the most powerful plug-in electric lawn mower and weed wacker I also bought, but I got a plug-in electric leaf blower made my Stihl here in the USA! **** nice leaf blower too! I'm trying though, to NOT send $$ to China whenever possible! You? Or are you selling the U.S.?
