Do I need a fused distribution block?

i'm running 3 amps pulling a max of 50 amps each, 150 amps max total, and have a question about the distribution block.  I have a couple of questions about them.

• Am i correct in using a 150 amp fuse near the battery before the distribution block?
• Do i really need to have a distribution block with fuses to the different amps? or can i just use a splitter?  I was wondering because they each have their own fuses on the amps themselves.  And i think i read on my JL 500 that it doesn't neet to be fused since it has it's own.
• i also have 2 capacitors, one is 1 farad and the other is half farad. Is it ok to use them both? or should both be the same farads?

Here's a picture/diagram of what i'm talking about.  What i want to know is if at the distribution block, do i need 3 separate fuses? One 50 amp going to each of the amps? Oh yeah and that top farad (0.5)cap is connected with it's positive terminal just like  the bottom one(1 farad), the picture just got cut off which shows that.  and i didn't diagram the grounds since i know they all have to be grounded.

As far as the 150 at the battery I can’t tell you if that are correct unless I know the output of the amp. But assuming you have the correct fuse size (150 amps) that is the way you fuse the main power cable

You do not need the fuses in the distro block. The 150 amp at the battery will protect the car as well as your power cable (just be sure your cable can handle 150 amps), and the fuses on the amps will protect the amp. Your fused dirtro would be for show

There is nothing wrong with the way you have the caps in the diagram.

Sounds to me like you have done your research and are headed in the rite direction

Thanks bberman, you saved me some time, money and hassle. regualar power spliters without the fuses are easier to find in 0 guage to 4 guage

 And i think i did write that each amp maxed at 50 amps each. i'm also using 0 gauge power wire...err..i think it's 0/1 i dunno...it's the biggest size.  And it's been a hard finding a distro block with fuses from 0 gauge to 3/ 4 guage wires which is what i thought i had to use. 

Am i right that i have to use the same 0 gauge for the battery's negative terminal 

I figure 4 guage will be sufficient for each amp to be grounded with since i will be using 4 guage to each amp after the distro block.

i guess i'll also be using 0 gauge to do the alternator to the batter huh?

anyone know what a stock v6 ford mustang puts out at the alternator? i'm thining maybe i have to upgrade to a 200 amp alt. And i'm gonna get an optima battery soon.

This is a piece by piece project and i'm just rounding up the parts for the install before i do any work.  Got the whole car interior  in pieces inside my room..heh heh.

Again...thank you,,,thank you ....thank you!!! for all your replies

Thanks for the posts! Really appreciate the help.
