I have two amps which I will be hooking up. I have a capacitor but do not know if i am going to connect it. The distribution block i was looking at has one input with two outputs which each the the two fused, heres the link http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KNF-12 I already have a 200 amp anl fuse. My question is do go from positive battery to 200 anl amp fuse then to the distro block which has fuses for each line? by the way each fuse in the block is 150 amps. Or can i go postive to distro block then to the amps since there are fuses on each line? and if i decide to use the cap do i put the cap before the block?

no, you have to have a fuse withen 15 inches of your battery, it is to protect the wire not the amps. This fuse keeps your car from burning to the ground if something goes wrong. you can also use the fuses in the back.

Thanks, but one last thing if im going to connect the capacitor to the sub amp only do i just connect it after the distribution block right before the sub amp or should i run it before the block so that both amps can benefit from the capacitor

Doesn't matter...but before the block would make less clutter rather than four wires coming off one terminal
