    Get Power Distribution Blocks from Crutchfield

    I'm trying to setup my Mobile in my truck. I managed to cleanly install 4 gauge wire from the Battery to my radio rack. I went to the Auto Parts Stores looking for a power distribution block that would handle up to 50 amps. They all gave me the stink eye and tried to sell me a cheap fuse block. Somebody turned (around 25 years old) me on to Crutchfield. Wow, those kids have to handle much more power in their souped up stereo systems. Crutchfield carries a full line of power distribution blocks that are almost pretty and can handle any mobile RF amp I will ever use.

    My days of putting stereo systems in cars ended about 20 years ago. I could get along with just an AM radio now. I guess the music has left my soul. Since I listen to talk radio most of the time, I just can't see listening to Rush with 400 watts and a giant bass speaker in my trunk.

    Why not? It would be a good way to piss off those GD libs and receive the nod of approval from old coots everywhere, on every street corner.

    I can't see listening to Rush in the first place, but that's another discussion.

    Well, I just can't see listening to Rush at any power.

    Crutchfield sells a lot of other a/v stuff too. Bought my home theater receiver there several years ago.

    Just using him as an example. Listening to him can make me wince with as little as 500 milliwatts. We do have great local talk radio in C-ville. Unfortunately, they do carry some of the national crap like him.
