Need Fused Distro Block 2 1/0 in and up to 4ga out


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys, I am rewiring my entire system after adding a 4th amplifier. I have 4 ANL Inline fuses and I have a complete wiring mess on the back wall of my Crew Cab Sierra. I already squeezed in three amplifers somehow on the back wall and my 4 channel amp is going to be placed on the floor with a false floor.

So I need to ditch the 4 inline fuses and find a fused distribution block that accepts 2 1/0 inputs and (4) 4 gauge outputs with each having their own fuse. I prefer ANL fuses as two of my amplifiers need to be fused at 180a, one at 120a and one at 90a.

I have looked on numerous websites such as sonicelectronics, woofersetc, and so on. I have also been on Street Wires website and others.

I know it's going to be a very large Fused Distro block, but its very well needed. If all else fails, I could always go with two distribution blocks, one going to one of my 1800wrms amp and my 2 channel amp and another going to my other 1800wrms amp and my 4 channel amp. I have two runs of OFC 1/0awg power wire running from my XS D3400 battery and the other run straight from the Mechman 270a alternator. If I change it to 2 distro blocks, then I will have to switch the 1/0awg cable from the alternator to the battery so they will come from the same source, or does that even matter?

So does anyone know if one of these exist? I could care less about how pretty it looks, leds, volt meters, etc... but if that is all that is out there, then I will have to pay the extra money for it.

Once I have one, I will have some inline fuse holders for sale :-)

Also, I have 2 XScorpion Ground Distribution blocks that has 3 1/0awg, 1 2ga, 3 4ga and 2 8ga. I would be getting rid of one of these, obviously keeping the other for my ground. I really like these Distribution blocks.

You didn't look hard for them.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

I am not OP, but would you trust your system to Maxi Fuses? I understand that all fuses no matter what size they are blow at what ever they are rated at, but arn't Maxi fuses slow blow fuses? Meaning they can handle short bursts of power above what they are rated? maybe this is just me and my paranoia. On the other hand I know some of my buddies who run Maxi Fuse fuse holders from Walmart, and never have a problem.

If I where you OP I would just go down to my local machine shop and see what they quote you to make some up out of some solid aluminum. Although you would have to make a case so that they don't ground out.

Not all fuses are created equal. I have seen plenty of ANL and AGU fuses take amperage like a champ.

Besides, fuses are for a holy shit incident. You are looking to protect the battery from burning the car to the ground, nothing else. If an amp causes a fuse to blow, then the bad deal in the amp is done anyway. ;)
