Our take on the StreetWires Combo AGU Fused Distribution Block

Streetwires CBR44A Combo Fused Distribution Block is an ideal power distribution solution for anyone who needs efficient, protected power transfer to multiple amplifiers (up to four), and who wants a clean, high-profile look to their installation.

Connect a power cable from your battery to the set-screw input — the Power Ring® input accepts any gauge cable. Then run power cables and ground cables from up to four amplifiers to the compact, machined-brass block. The positive and negative outputs accept 4-gauge or 8-gauge cables. Finally, run a single ground wire (any gauge into the Power Ring® input) out to a bolt on your chassis, or back to the negative terminal on your battery.

The Combo Fused distribution block has a highly-conductive, corrosion-resistant Diamond Plate Nickel finish with gold details for premium power transfer with minimal voltage loss, and show-quality appearance. (You will need to purchase separately AGU fuses for your amplifiers, as well as a pair of power rings.)

Great value

Written By John C, Charleston SC on Wednesday, August 22, 2007

I installed this in no time flat. It's nice and solid and I have a few extra slots for whatever and don't have to worry about a new fuse or ground. I'm glad I didn't have to run an inline fuse to both of my amps. I didn't use this to ground the amps but it was still worth it on a tight budget.
