I am adding a mono block to my system and I'm a little unsure how to handle the wiring. My current amp has a 8g wire setup with a 30amp inline fuse, my RF 301x will only accept that gauge. My new mono block needs a 4g setup with a 60amp fuse. How would you handle this install??

My thoughts, I would get a 4g amp kit and a combo fused distro block (does one even exsist that fits my needs?) I would have 4g from battery 60amp inline fuse to distro block. The distro block would have a 60 and 30 amp fuse that would feed my 2 amps, with 4g to mono block and 8g to the RF. Is this a reasonable solution or am I way off?

Yes, for a 90a current draw a single 4g kit would work fine.
You have it correct except you want to put a 90a inline fuse at the battery.

Single 4g run from battery to fused ditribution block that accepts 4g in and has dual 4g out (or single 4g and 8g). 4g to sub amp, 8g to smaller amp.
