There is no such thing as free installation!

If this is legit RMS power 250-300 amps should do and you only need one. Mount it close to the battery. The ones between the amps and D blocks are not needed.

For future reference if you need to ever do something like this it would be close to the distro. blocks and you would use a fuse that is rated to the maximum amperage that the power wire is rated at or less.  Some people like to use the max. current draw of all the amplifiers running off that wire but isn't needed since almost all amps have their own protection built in.
