You need a DIRECT connection to the battery. Three's a lot more going on in your described "block" than just distributing power.
Well I had heard from many a source that the dist. block was safe to use, and nad i have been using it for my subwoofer amp for 5 months now with no problems with the elc system......which i had an installer do. Have you had personal exp with friends or something that had problems? If so i would like to hear about it. What if i used a capacitor in the trunk, would that help? I guess i could re-run 8 guage wire from the battery again, but is there a hole in the firewall? Anyway, please post back with more specifics - i would love to hear them.
