Cool, so i am definitely not alone in using fused distribution blocks to split power from a Main +12v run into multiple amps I think i am going to grab one of those Audison all in one modules. I wont use the ground side until i decide to rip everything out and re mount my amps, but can definitely take advantage of the fused side now.
Have you ever looked at marine terminal blocks?

Clever but man $15-20 for a fuse? Yikes
If anyone wants the fusion 360 file for my block and the worlds your lobster if you have a 3D printer, male as many taps as you like, add copper and jobs a fish!

I wouldn’t even consider using a non fused power block. I went with this one that last time

Yep, those Streetwires CBR44M fused distribution blocks with the Maxi fuses are my favorite as well. I bought a boatload of them when they were dirt cheap and have used manynof them in various installs throughout the years.
It's a shame that they don't make these any more. I recently sold one on the other site for a reasonable price and my FS thread got a bit comical, LOL.
And I didn't read the first page, but ANY TIME you step down in wire size/gauge from a larger wire you must appropriately fuse each smaller wire with a fuse that's less than the wire's max amperage capacity at the very least. This is to protect the wire itself, and you & your vehicle. The protection of the device at the end of the wire is secondary.
