Fused Distribution Block

Hi, i am looking for a fused distribution block with 0 GA input and a 0GA and 4GA out. I've look around but couldn't find any...

that's because they're not really common. The 0 awg to 0awg doesn't make sense in general since the fuse at the battery protects the wire, and a block just joins 2 pieces of 0awg which have the same current capacity. Normally, a fused distro block is used to protect the smaller wires leading from the block against over current should they short...a 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 awg wire would burn before the 0 awg fuse blew(depending on the fuse used). I'm sure I've seen 0 to 4 though, just not as common.

Yup but i wanted something clean and didn't want to have 2 fuse holder under the hood. I have a 0GA going to the back for my Sundown Amp and a 4GA to the amp in the front.

Nope, no soup for you. It was a dual 0 guage in and 4 fused 4 gauge out, 1 4 gauge pass through (but a 0-4 adaptor would solve that issue). It is a power and ground distro block. You would still need a separate fuse for the 0 gauge somewhere.
