I am going to be using two amps, with 15 amp fuses in each of them. Right now I only have 10 gauge wire ran. My question is is there such thing as a 10 gauge distrobution block? And if you need to know, one amp is being bridged (probobly pushing around 100 watts continuous or so) and the other will be ran in stereo at 4 ohms (30 watts continuous for each channel).

You can use a simple block like this and run the 10 gauge into it.  You can use separate in-line fuse holders, like these, on the 10 ga. wires going into the amps. 
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Would 10 gauge wire be secure enough in the 4 gauge input? Thanks.

Yeah, you can turn the hex screw down tight on any wire (4 ga. or less).   I have one of these with a 8 gauge wire going in and it secures real nice.  Then I used in line fuse holders out but in the 8 ga.  I don't think there are distros made with smaller than 4 ga. input.

you could just upgrade to a 4 guage kit that comes with all wires and a distro block you can get them on ebay for about $20 or less
