Get Power Distribution Blocks from Crutchfield

[KK4AMI]

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.

Crutchfield's a great place to do business with, too.

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.

Imagine driving through the heart of ultra liberal democrat left wing San Francisco with 400 watts of Rush blasting out. Imagine shaking and rattling all those liberal commie hippie beattniks and feminazi's and democrats hanging around Haight-Ashbury with 400+ solid watts of Rush Limbaugh !! Awesome !!! A Neocon's dream !!

400 watts is for wanna-be's. The Alpine system in my 4 door Bonneville is rated at 2700 watts PEP, 900 watts RMS (as noted on the amplifiers), at 4 ohms.

I'd prefer to drive through an affluent conservative neighborhood playing Linkin Park with the volume knob at 25 (max is 30). I could split their pointy little heads with that...


ETA: All purchased at Crutchfield's in Harrisonburg, Va when I was working at the (now) Miller-Coors brewery in nearby Elkton.

I prefer putting a shortwave receiver in my car so I can tune in to WBCQ and drive around listening to Brother Stair with the volume up full blast.

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

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.
