i am currently running a kicker 600.1 and a 350.4. i have a tsunami distribution block that runs one 4 gauge in, two 8 gauge out. there are two 60 amp cylinder fuses in the block for each split. the fuse for the power wire that runs into the mono amp keeps blowing after like 5-10 minutes of playing. i have a 120amp fuse under the hood. any idea what the problems can be? the fuses in the amp are fineand as soon as i change the fusein the block, it works for a little bit. any info would be a great help

what gauge wire are you running?  what type of ohm load are you pushing? be as specific as you can.

Upgrade the 8ga to 4ga and you should be good. at least that worked for me i had 1ga to a cap 4ga to a dist. block then 1ga to my amp and i stopped blowing fuses.

i have two kicker comp vrs dual 2 ohm voice coil, so both subs together produce a 2 ohm load

can you ground to a distrobution block? And can you use a distrobution block for subs?( like if you want to use 8 guage for your subs in mono and its hard to squeeze 2, 8 guages to the positive and 2 to the negative)

steezs...i have 6 P.A. KSW 10'' dual 4 ohms. from amps are 2 )  6 pos. dist .blocks feeding 10 ga. to  6 positives and 6 negatives on the subs.(block is 1-4 ga. in, 6- 8 ga. out) I would not pig tail any two wires in a sub terminal.

  p.s. Ive proven the masses wrong...im running 3 subs per vented chamber....149.6spl street bass.

bballskilllz32... what are the fuses on each amp.try to match each amp to the dist.blk. make sure not to up-grade the fuses on your amps.

Ya i was just asking if you could because it makes things easier then trying to squeeze 2 8 guage  from your amp out put and 2 from the negatives to feed 2 or more high powered subs in mono.
