How to use distribution blocks correctly
I have two small amps that I plan to connect to a fused distribution block.
The T-Spec block I'm looking at uses a MANL fuse. How would I determine the fuse size necessary for the block? Would I just add the max current draw for both amps?
Say for example the amps add up to about 45A RMS. Would my setup look something like this?:
Battery > 125A fuse > dist block + 50A fuse > two power wires out to the amps with their own inline fuses.

Whoops, looks like I was reading everything wrong. The distribution block does use individual fuses per output.
So now my question is whether or not I also need to include inline fuses, or does the distribution block act as the inline fuse for each power wire?
