How do you wire a distributor block?

i may be adding another amp to my trunk and i already have 2 there both with power coming from the battery, i read about distributor blocks and was wondering how these are wired, i assume you put it in your trunk and have the cables coming off, but my main concern is the fuses, do i have to change or add any more fuses? the one at the battery?, another one between the block and each amp?

if this is a fairly easy/cost effective process i will be using this method. thanks in advanceHow do you wire a distributor block?
The dist. block is pretty easy and straight forward to use, all it does is shunt power from one cable and split it out to 2-4 cables and then the cables go to the various devices. If you have the cable from the battery and it is not run to a capacitor then this may present a problem because if you branch the wire too many times from the battery to other devices you insure an overdraw latency in the power dist. of current in the system.

So, wire from battery to capacitor, wires from capacitor to dist. blocks, wires from blocks to amps and so on.

Really easy stuff no hard parts there.
