So you'd recommend a fused distro block for this?
Yes I recommend u use a fused distro block. The problem occurs when going to 16awg from a higer 10awg wire. If a short in the wire occured in the UNFUSED 16 guage wire it may catch fire or cause other damage long before the higher rated main fuse in the 10 guage wire blows. Anytime there is a stepdown in guage size the smaller wire should be fused at or near the stepdown.

depends, if your only connecting the opus then you'll be fine with the 10awg wire.
