Hi everyone

I am looking for a amp distribution block that is good looking and can do both power and ground. It also has to be priced reasonably.
I am redoing the interior of my daily driver after being tired of water leaking in. I am going to dynomat and replace the carpet and rewire the stereo at the same time.
I have 3 amps and currently has a small crappy looking dist block for the power and the grounds are just all tied to a bolt.
I plan on selling this truck later in the year and I want something that I would be pleased with and would look good to a buyer.
The way its wired currently is horrible as I had a buddy do it while I was working on the engine.

I have found this
http://www.sherco-auto.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=V10PG4-MANL&Category_Code=MA

But that place does not sell it anymore and I can't seem to find anything I like on ebay either. I would settle for a real nice looking power dist block and use my current one for the ground also.

Just wondering if people have any recommendations on what they have used etc. I have a tsunami wiring kit so I would prefer to use all the same brand but will switch brands for the right deal.

Thanks for the help!

Not sure but I don't think waytek deals with the car stereo kind of parts.
Forgot to mention I will be using 1 4ga in and 4 8 ga outs, as one amp as dual 8 ga terminals.

I look the way that street wires block looks, have you used it and have experience with it or just saw it on ebay?

I would not ger any with fuses, you only need one fuse, the one in the amp. If you want to can add a breaker on the main wire when it comes off the batt, other then that its just more crap to go wrong.

gr868 That sounds like what I have for the power currently. I was hoping to get something nicer etc but since this is a dd and not a show truck plus being on a dave ramsey budget I think I will be just getting another one of those and calling it a day.

Once I get the syclone driveable and actually have a stereo in it again I will look into this stuff some more and get the nice stuff:)

Also not really liking the idea nor do I recommend only running the fuse in the amp. Defiantly run a fuse as close to battery as possible first after that no need for additional fuses. Not having a fuse at the battery is a good way to make a nice vehicle crispy:eek:
JamesJ If you meant differently excuse me just wanted to make sure thats not what you were recommending.

Thanks for the help Guys:)
