    You keep blowing the fuses because the amount of power both amps are pulling are too much for the fuse in place...maybe the gauge wiring too. Adding a D. Block will not help unless you up the fuse up front and maybe run larger wires.

    If you let me know what exact amps you are running and what gauge wire you have, I can tell you for sure.

    Ideally, you will want to run a large enough wire from the battery to where the amps are mounted. Then use a fused d. block to split the power to go to the amps. Then ground them seperately. You can also use a ground d. block if the wires are short enough.

    Just add a fused d. block to the 4 gauge wire. Then run 8 gauge wiring to each amp. Say 100 amp fuse up front, 40 amp fuse to the american pro amp, and 60 amp fuse to the power acoustiks. The Power Acoustiks amp only puts out 560rms bridged...so 8 gauge is more than enough.

    That amp doesn't put out 1250 watts...that is their max BS rating. 560rms is the most true power you will get out of it and that is bridged at 4ohms. Even then, that might be overrated. To be honest, Power Acoustik is a very low quality amp.
