is it better to run the 1 gauge to the trunk and distro it there or back near by the battery?

i run my distro in back. well one point of an distro block is so that u only have to run one wire through the firewall

back on this topic again...

so heres how my wires will look correct

battery>in line fuse 300a>amp

the problem i see here is that the 1/0 gauge wire doesnt look like it will fit in the power terminal...

now i was thinking something like this would work battery>in line fuse> distro block> then 4 gauge out to amp... with 150 watt amp in block.....

now would that work cause seems to me that if it blew before when using it directly to the battery whats going to stop it from blowing at the distro block?

what was the fuse under the hood rated at, 60 amps? for 4 gauge i would use at least an 80 amp, maybe 100amp fuse.

In the event where the powerwire doesn't fit in the terminals. Look into getting reducers.

ok reducers... now how do those work?

also when i do upgrade the wire to 1/0 gauge and put the 300 a fuse inline and run it to the amp using this reducer thing... will i need to upgrade the fuse in the amp itself?
