Ok now I have a few questions, regarding the fuse/ dist. block if I am to use finolex/molex type cable for power.

Here is what I 'suppose' is correct :

1.Connect 4ga wire(in my case the finolex cable) to the car battery (+12V)
2. Connect this wire to a fuse holder?
3. Connect the wire from the fuse to a dist. box

and then

4. Connect from dist. box to 2ch (4ga and ground it)
5. Connect 2ch to the Alpine(4ch) (8ga and ground it)

Now regarding dist. box, we are talking about power dist. right?? If the basic dist. boxes provide for 1 -> 2 split then I guess i dont need to follow step 4/5 and the amps can be wired individually?

Also what sort of fuse would I require for the setup in question, and this needs to be hooked up to the cables running from the battery BEFORE the dist box correct? (Id also read that a fuse is necessary when you switch from bigger wire to smaller...)
