Phoenix Gold Phorum

When did this distro block come out? I have never seen this one. I think Im going to go for two of them, although they are expensive. Solid brass

Wow that actually looks cool. Would that be used for a ground distro block as it is not fused?

yep...ground distro...unless you used separate fuse holders on each line coming out of it...

It can be used as either or. I was going to buy 2 of them, 1 for my ground, and 1 for the power. I have everything fused under the hood..

fused under the hood? it's a 0 gauge input to 4/8 gauge output. When you drop wire gauge you need to fuse that wire appropriately.

I have never heard tell of this... why when its already fused under the hood? Also, do you even need it fused under the hood if its fused at the distro blocks?

You're protecting the wire from burning up. The fuse under the hood is necessary, and should be max 18" away from battery. The wire running from the battery could short further up the line, say through the firewall...the fuse under the hood would prevent the wire from burning up (the wire itself becomes the "fuse" if there is no fuse), as well as the battery possibly exploding.
Fuses are required whenever you drop wire gauge because that wire cannot handle as much current as the wire coming straight from the battery.

This may help clear things up a bit as well....

I guess this never applied to me ever because every time Ive ran my many systems, my wire sizes have all been the same..

I've always run an ANL fuse as close to the battery as possible, that represents the total combined amperage for both amps (ex: 60amp + 80amp = 140 amp ANL fuse), and then run an ANL or MIDI fuse for each amp representing their actual amperage (ex: one 60amp fuse, one 80amp fuse) as close as possible to each amp. Never had a single fuse blow running like this.

Those are new this year , I am actually running alot of the new stuff in my van and I am quite happy wth the new stuff

they had a hole mess of them at the f&F sale. i picked up a few...WAY nice.
PG really stepped up their new assemblies/cable

mack...how soon do you need the blocks? i will be selling my tantrum ground and fuse blocks (http://www.buy.com/prod/phoenix-gold-tx ... 21136.html
) when i install the new ones

Have a pdf Catalog From PG Here are Some Pics

wow... how do u have that? when is that stuff gunna be for sale? I wanna buy some PG RCA high end cables.

For sale already has been since January

PG could use some better online marketing/product information to get the word out on the latest stuff. I know you can find the RSd and Ryval product catalogs... strangely under the support section of their website but still, there isn't a whole lot. They used to list accessories on their website before they moved it to the Rodin website, now I can't find any such listing.

Edit: It is on the FTP site, but that's not exactly "getting your product out there" in terms of marketing exposure.

I found those rca's posted, but im not sure if 16feet is long enough. Thats definately pushing it.. so I will have to go with another pg rca thats longer...
