I am running an Absollute DANL600 fused distribution block. I have a 2 gauge power going from the battery to thje power input on the block, and out I have a 4 gauge(i bought it as a 2 gauge but the kit lied its only legit 4) running to a boss blade extreme amp that says 2000 RMS but its probably around 1200, and i have an 8 gauge coming out to a little power acoustik 2 channel speaker amp...150 watts i think? I got all the wires hooked up, grounded the distro block, the lights on the volt reader come up, but the amps won't even turn on. is there anything i am doing wrong or need to check?

check with a DMM to see if you have power coming from the output wires of your distribution block and if you do then check your amps fuses and ground connection and your remote turn on wire check that with your DMM too.

You might consider running 4 guage wire straight to each amp and do away with the distrubtion block...the less stuff the better
