Thy are junk i wouldnt waste money on that Why do you want it? I suggest a stinger volt meter if thats what you are looking for

I already bought it so I can connect my 2 amps..... It is like this one http://scosche.com/products/productID/1014 So........do I NEED to buy fuses to put in it???? Or since my amps already have fuses do I not need to put fuses in it?

lol, if you hook it up and don't put fuses in it, your not going to get any power out of it...

yeah, you need something there a fuse or a bullet... and i bet you don't get fuses with it.

ok so how do I know how many amps the fuses have to be? One of my amps in my car is 600 RMS(1200max) and one is 160 RMS(400max).... right now the guy at the shop made one 4 gauge wire going into a fuse holder, and two 8 gauge wires coming out of the fuse holder. He did it in this fuse holder http://scosche.com/products/productID/1763 (is that bad?) Once I put the distro block in can I take the fuse holder out???

go shoot that guy and then just get a block that lets 4 in 4 out so you can wire both amps safely
