No i ebayed it and found a few different models that look like they will work just fine.

Now the ground thing, can i use another distro block to route both amps to one ground?
Why would you look like a noob with a cap in your trunk?. Capacitors certainly have their place in car audio. They are just far too often used for the wrong purpose

Although I highly advise against a Tsunami distro block, I can explain why if you care.

I have the positive only version of the block you linked you can have for next to nothing since you're in the area, brand new.

my bad, the person that posted the link isnt the O/P....forgive my noobness

the fact that magnets stick to them or that the flux between the pling adds a lot of resistance?

the fact that they use an interchangeable power wire inlet (the part that holds the 0awg) is connected to the rest of the block by a 3mm screw, whats the point of running 3/4 inch wire when the block funnels it down to 3mm??

caused me 6 months of thinking that the rest of my equipment is screwed, my system would shut down completely when I tuned it up, turns out 3mm isnt enough to feed my demands.

Fozz and I inspected the block, I'll post pictures of what I'm talking about....
I'm not picky, but I'll never use another Tsunami product again because of it.
