    You are sure a persistant one.

    I've told you like three times - I just don't have the spare cash to throw around for a decent distrobution block.

    Around me you can pick up a 4ga to two 8 guage for around 15 bucks, it's fused too. Stinger was the brand I think. You don't need some fancy-*** distro. Just something that splits the wire.

    then wait to install it untill you can install it correctly

    persistant yes, because I like to see things done the right way the first time

    The extra wire you would run will cost you more than a distro block. Plus you won't have to rip your car up again to run another wire. I tried running two wires and got a headache. I decided to go with distro block and I am alot happier with it. Go distro and thank yourself.

    i'd say use the distro block. it's cheap anyway. i got mine for $5 at an audio shop. you'll save yourself a lot of trouble.

    yeah man, $10-15 tops, per online from private parties. I'd drop $20-$30 to get ti done right. Its not like you're wasting your money.

    But really, i undestand your situation snce i'm living it myself. However, this si something you need, and unlike a fuse, where doing something stupid and unsafe like wraping hte blown fuse in aluminum foil to keep yoru amp going, there is no cheaper way to "get by". This IS the cheapest way. you need to spend the money. Atleast get one to the amps and just ground both to the same point. You can distro the grounds later on. I hope you can spare $5-$15 to do this. . Unless you get power cables for free, and if you do, i have a list of needs for a few cars i hope you'll help me with, that's, just one distro block, is the cheapest and best long term solution in one that there is.
