Ok...this might sound stupid, but I have to ask: can a power distribution block be next to a ground distribution block, or should they be a "certain distance " apart.
I ask because I have them both and they are mounted 2 inches from each other. Thanks for reading and/or any feedback.

Your all good some blocks are even power/ground combined into one like this audison.

No worries about the distance between them, but DO be careful of letting a screwdriver or pliers or anything metal drop across both of them after installing them or changing fuses. I like to install a decent quality main circuit breaker or disconnect near the battery that goes to the power dist box for that very reason. Doing that ALSO lets me turn off the stereo if I lend the truck to someone that that I dont want messing with the controls !!! ;)
