 |
|
Anyone have any recommendations for a block that I can take large gauge wire from my power source (battery/Perko switch) and distribute it to my various power-hungry components? I'm too lazy to build one myself...

It is a Street Wires brand. Picked it up at a local stereo shop. It was $65 for the block and $12each for the terminals and $3 a fuse.

OUCH...
SoundDomain has some really nice fused Distribution blocks...
I have 3 of the (3) 1/0 - (4) 4awg Phoenix Gold fused distro blocks and they are very nice...cost is $29.99 and each fuse is $2.50ish (mini wafer style)
I'd highly recommend going fused though...nothing like having 2-3 safety points before your amps

Xaggerate,
It has both ground and power blocks in one. You paid $30 each. So end result the same cost. Stereo stuff is just expensive. Price some wire, holy crap. 1/0 wire was $15 a foot.

check knukonceptz.com. Best value in mobile electronics wiring hands down. They have very nice distrinution blocks for like $12. Don't quote me on that but it is really reasonable, My entire boat is wired with knukonceptz - which includes dual Optima batteries, 3 amps, and 8 speakers plus the 12" sub.
Check their battery terminals too - top notch stuff for dirt cheap.
