where to find 8g distro blocks??

[nas786 10+ year member]

I just wanna split my 8g power wire to 2 different amps, and then connect the 8g grounds back together, but I can't find any 8g in to 8g out fused/non-fused blocks. Anyone know where to look?

Also, can I possibly use let's say a 4g in to 4 8g out, and just wire up the 8g ones....?? It seems like it might be bad, but just seeing if this is an option.

O, that looks perfect, does that have a fuse in it though??

no fuse in it, check around that website and maybe they have something to offer.

i always thought you would have to fuse each output seperately though:eyebrow:

if ur mono amp is rated at 80amps and ur speaker amp is only 20amp and your gonna find a distro block that has a built-in fuse holder...idk how i would go about that.

don't you need something bigger than 8gauge if it is used an an input because the draw of (2)8 gauges already?

I'm not sure, actually I kind of thought this before, but a couple people said it shouldn't be a big deal. I already have 8g wire, but if its necessary then i'll buy some 4g....anyone know?

to me it makes sense that there are two 8 gauge drawing high current from the single 8 gauge. correct me if I am wrong but the single input won't deliver enough to power the amps? im still looking to see if thats true, but just to be safe, you know?
