I made the mistake of wanting to add another amp to my system. I thought this would be a pretty easy task since I have 1 gauge running to the back...Here is where my problems come in..Amp one requires 4 gauge with a 60 amp fuse, Amp two requires 8 gauge with 40 amp fuse, amp three requires 15 amp fuse...Now Ive spent about three hours trying to find a product that matches all of those requirements with zero luck. I can find the hardware configuration but nothing that supports the 15 amp fuse. Most of the hardware I can find that supports hardware configuration only have 30 amp fuses made in that style and above...So at this point I am shaking my head..So I figure I will give it a rest and look for the ground block..That should be easy, right...nope..It took two hours of searching through products to finally find a phoenixgold ground block that will work...So with all of that said why cant someone come out with a better system...Any of you guys run into this before?

Use a blue sea fuse block. Just use a 30amp fuse on your first two amps and 15 amps on your third. Going from 60 to 30 is not going to hurt anything. Going up in fuse ratings is where you start taking a large risk.

If you still want to go the other way then come off your 1 pwr output for your third amp to a single or double small ATC style fuse block or inline fuse. If you are worried about looks just don't show it.

BTW Darvex.com has fuses down to 20amps in maxi and AGU.

I use a Streetwires CBR44A fused power distribution and ground block, like this:

Parts Express have 15 amp AGU fuses. I used a 10 Amp AGU fuse on one of my power outlets for various components (Alpine H701, "brain" for the Alpine D310 head unit and the Alpine navigation system).

Also, you may be able to easily get away with 8 gauge on that amp that "requires" 4 gauge. If the run is short, you'll probably be just fine. This might make it easier to find a block that fits your needs.

Keep in mind the distro block is fused to protect your wiring not your amp. You could exceed the fuse rating your amp and stil protect your wiring as long as you choose the proper fuse rating to match the wire size and length and amperage.

I second the AGU fuse solution. The streetwires fuse block above is still available from KC Autosound as far as I know. Pricey but nice. I have the Maxi fuse version.
