[@CaseAgainstFaith1]

What kind of plastic is it made out of? can it handle the heat that would be generated if you are running high continuous power?

[@PRINYATIP]

WOW..........8 years ago......YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY....... 👊👊👍👍😁😁 Congratulations on your success! Been watching you like forever 🤣

[@hakenkreuz7076]

I noticed he answers a lot more questions in the comments section 8 years ago then he does today. But I do understand that must be tedious.

[@ryanfahey640]

Awesome vid Mark! I found Knuconceptz myself awhile back before I had ever heard of them, and I'm so glad I did. All of their products are top notch and are an incredible value. Im replacing a damaged fuse block and there's no question what brand to get. I have their power / ground wire, speaker wire, fuse block, ultimate battery terminals, wire pants, the list goes on. They don't make the original block I had anymore, which makes me sad. But I'm glad they are still doing the compression fittings. You cannot pull those apart after installed, and look like the best connection that can be made.

[@wal]

Amazing distro block! Never seen one with so many options, plus I love those fittings. I'll put one of these on my short list. Great review!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Im glad you enjoy! Thanks for the comment, I have thought about this since the last time you asked, I am trying to stay away from doing any brand vs brand for the equipment. The reason being the second I say brand x is better than brand y I have all the fanboy for brand y jumping on me and no longer watching my videos, I have learned (from forums) it just leads to trolling. I rather show amazing fabrication techniques, and just show products I really like, and not say anything negative.

[@corvettefever360]

Crazy to see how this channel has grown in 10 years! Never seen C.A.F. videos from this long ago. Regardless as a professional myself, I have never seen bad information on this channel, so I'm glad to see how it's grown & that it's still around

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks for posting Uri! Thanks for watching too!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Yes, it is EXTREMELY important that you do. You want a fuse as close to the battery as possible, this prevents the possibility of the wire that as ran to the battery shorting out on bare metal (ground) within your car. With the fuse it will simply blow and save you from a FIRE!

[@CrazyCody1993]

This is a really cool distribution block! and extremely conveniently just before i'm making the stereo bigger! I dont usually leave you comments but i have to thank you on this one! keep up the good videos! There is an incredible ammount of good information!!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I seriously love the distribution block, feel free to share on your guy's page! Bill and Knukonceptz are both awesome to deal with.

[@firebirdude2]

Thank you for the review! Best note was that it includes four 0g compression fittings and two 4g fittings. This is something Knu does not point out on their webpage.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

The largest mini anl fuse is 150 amps, if you look closely each output has room for two links, so you can double up to have up to 300A of protection per circuit.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I usually use an offboard processor like the Rockford Fosgate 360 or Audison Bit 10. Glad you like the videos, I need to go to Sweden sometime!

[@a-75n5lee4]

I thought about buying this a while back but the pictures from eBay and Amazon was it giving me a clear description of how it worked I believe for my 3 battery to alternator five amplifier system will work pretty good

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks man! I am really excited to use lots of these on installs in the future.

[@brianvu648]

This is the best thing I've seen since slice bread. If I already didn't have 12+ fuse blocks in my car, I'd definitely get this new knu product!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Yeah man, it is perfect for constantly changing things up. Bookmark the page!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Not everyone has a rear battery bank, and even if you do every connection to your battery should be fused, if a cable were to come loose and make contact with ground your battery would very quickly overheat the cable and start a fire, this is why the KNF60 would be a great item to install as close to your battery bank as possible, in fact you could make 2 or 3 very short 0 gauge connections and then have 4 or 3 outputs! All fused and ready to go!

[@uri1993]

wow! that distribution block looks amazing!!! I definitely love all of Knu's products. I purchased some of their 0 gauge wiring and lemme tell you, thickest wires I've ever purchased! I got two battery terminals and I fell in love with their wire fittings. so easy to screw in and they never get loose! I definitely wanna buy one of these distribution blocks! Great video Mark! thanks for the upload.

[@949dk]

dude i think this is the most epic distro block ever

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thats right, I love mine, you should get yourself one and let them know who sent ya!

[@santiagodraco]

Just found your channel today. Great stuff! You've inspired me to do some much more custom tweaks to my install. Why did I ever watch any of that rediculous "Amplified" bs. :) Gotta love someone who takes the time to actually teach and not act like a fool for 90% of the show. Kudos bro, keep up the good work.

[@sethjohnson6242]

Thank you for demonstrating how to use these compression fittings. Been searching all over looking for instructions. I bought the KnuKonceptz Kollasus dual amp kit and there were no instructions for how to use the compression fittings to connect the wires to the 1-to-2 distribution block. Other than the lack of documentation, I am appreciating the quality of the product. They should post PDF docs on their website (none found thus far).

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Yes you can! This is what I actually will be using the unit I got for! It is going to look super clean! What are you running?

[@MrCaptainobvious9999]

Knukonceptz is finally producing some much nicer quality and well thought out pieces. This is a great, solid distro block. They also have a few new battery terminals that are really sweet.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks man! Yeah they are pretty nifty.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

They sell them with up to 300a fuses. So you are covered, just make sure you specify what you want when you order.

[@beardedgaming1337]

11 year old video and still the best fuse block on the market.... crazy

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Glad to hear it! If you do let them know that CAF sent you! What does your build consist of?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

No problem thanks for watching

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Working on it, have to get the trunk done first, making quality vids takes forever

[@techmaster170]

Thats a sweet distro block. When i finally get a car i'ma put a serious system in. I'll just buy one of these so i'll be prepared down the road for changes!

[@dwizl7213]

CarAudioFab Were the compression fittings made to fit Knu wire exclusively or would I be able to fanagle oversized 1/0 such as SHCA into it as well?

[@Ali_o.O]

dwizl7213 were you abl to fit the SHCA 1/0 ?

[@vuvz10]

after watching this vid a few weeks back i picked up about $600 worth of wires(one of every colour!) and accessorys from knuKonceptz all worth the cash i spent(cant wait to get my new car to use it all) only thing i can say would be that the compression fittings are a lil fragile as i broke the first one i tested

[@CarAudioFabrication]

(continued) As you can see from my videos, it is pretty obvious that I enjoy both mainstream stuff and the "non-name brand" stuff, I rather just let the videos speak for themselves, you know what I mean?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

It sounds awesome

[@OfficialCPProduction]

Now adays i think the holes are 4 gauge or 0 correct? This will work for me having a 4 channel and sub amp in back ?

[@hondafanatic17]

Great Product review Mark, gonna get one of these for my system to clean up the wiring!

[@1dickycat]

Yet another awesome video! Can't get enough! I still kinda would like to see a video on high end verses low end equipment. Also another video idea, what about something that explains the difference between name brand equipment; Jl , rockford, alpine and non-name brand; sundown, dc, fi, aa. Mostly just to explain why it's ok to go with these brands rather then their well known counterparts. Again sweet videos and can't wait till the next one!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

You ended up picking one up? How do you like it?!

[@kdjetta03]

Videos are getting better man! great work!

[@JmasterJr]

I just run everything off my rear battery bank. I don't know why I'd need a distro. I love the video and that orange kandy kable!!

[@oodooley]

Awesome work man, I look forward to watching all videos when they come out

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks! Glad you like them, slam that like button!

[@mascotgraphics]

I slammed it, broke my monitor. I think I'll just click on it next time.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Search KNF-60 on their site, I just checked it is there, if you buy send them an email telling them who sent you! Thanks for watching!

[@hondafanatic17]

@CarAudioFabrication I'm very excited to see your SA8 box all finished because that is the same subwoofer I have for my Saab

[@UltraCon79]

I have a nice block of oak black bedliner coated. I use 1/4 brass bolts from Fastenal flush mounted with ANL fuses under the nuts and a Plexiglas cover.

[@UltraCon79]

FYI they make beautiful tinned power wire that seals are tight with soldering in a lug connector.

[@georgeowen6745]

I am very impressed its one of those things it's so simple but just never made I just bought 4 of them when I found out they where only 40 bucks there is damn near that in fuses supplied they are 3 bucks a piece around here

[@razorworks9942]

Great info Mark.. what kind of fuse block would you suggest under the hood connecting directly to the battery? Enjoy your vids, thanks for sharing... Razor!

[@deankay4434]

You did a nice job of showing some of the different configurations using this fuse center. I can see the mini ANL fuses on the left top, but is that also fuses on the vertical side on the same side? Also, I thought you mentioned a link to see different configurations or set ups for this box, is it listed in the description below? I am not sure which one or if it is there. The company does not list the ferrules used on wire that uses a set screw, how do you find them? I would be using dielectric grease on connection even though they are in the trunk, but condensation for moisture in the air can form with temperature changes and lead to corrosion over time. Just seem way too many factory and customer installed connections go bad. Thanks. Nice stuff.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Yes definitely. YOu wont be disappointed, let them know I sent you ;)

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Whats the FCA stand for?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thank you!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Buy 4!

[@deankay4434]

Wires of different colors is very pretty, but I have a problem with "ORG" large AWG wire in any automobile. SAE requires that all high voltage cabling be "ORG" in color for identification for first responders after a vehicle accident. These cables will be cut first as they are for hybrids that have drive and control systems of 38 - 42+ volts, up to 400 volts. Not amps. As a retired ASE Master tech, vehicles coming into the dealer for service or repair have various colors of large AWG wires or cabling attached to the battery for use with a huge loud stereo. Does anyone read the amperage requirements of these devices of these components? A digital amp clamp reveals less that 25 amps going into the trunk. The trunk is 12 feet away, and resistance in the cable effects voltage drop which determines the size or AWG (Gauge) of wire required. Most of these are well over done without looking at the AWG amperage X length = gauge. Best practices in the automotive industries require any circuit properly fused within 18 inches of the battery. The fuse is thermally adjusted by it's environment and changes the amperage that causes it to open. An area that is 100 degrees F, will cause to open at a lower rating indicated on the fuse rating. A colder fuse will open at a higher amperage. Not have a properly sized fuse near the battery is asking for fire and severe damage to the wiring harness as fuses at designed to protect the harness and not the component. It appears like someone is ready for a drive-by welding operation with the oversized wire used. I understand the desire to have a nice stereo, but design, routing and cable sizing much less color choice is crazy. ASE Master Tech since 1978.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Nice! Thanks for watching! If you pick one up let them know who sent you!

[@DamienNicholas]

how many amps does a typical remote from an amplifier require to turn it on? OR- If I use one single 30/40 amp relay, will I be able to turn 5 amplifiers and a 12 amp led lighting system on with it? I was going to use 2 relays- one for the led's and one for my amps, but If I can get by with one, then I will. Oh, ya, I will probably add a few fans as well, really not sure what the voltage or amperage will be on those yet though.

[@ilovetoyotatrucks]

Will this for oversized 1/0AWG OFC like MONSTER CABLE or only knuconcepts?

[@babehasse]

I use a distribution block with 2 16mm2 inputs and 4 8mm2 outputs for each input. Smooth to use one for power and one for grounding. Gonna upgrade to bigger wires though, bur distribution blocks rules! :)

[@HowardSupra]

Hey Mark, I didn't see any specs on the website but I was curious if you did any personal testing on the resistance this distribution block has? I know it's a bit nitpicking but i'm always curious on specs like that. Good vids so far keep it up.

[@freshkryp69]

Everyone already knows about KNU..... The best bang for the buck any day!

[@WattSmoke]

that's one bad ass distro block

[@CaseAgainstFaith1]

Why is it so hard to find distribution blocks that take 2/0? Or possibly even larger, but 2/0 is sufficient for me. How could you need to remove very many strands to get 2/0 to fit in that block?

[@babehasse]

Audison bit 10 is something im considering getting for my next car :) You really should, got alot of nice car events over here :)

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Yeah its pretty nice, I really like it, where are you from?

[@bully86]

ok if your amp need a 50 amp fuse do i need to split them 20 -30 or just get 50amp fuse?

[@chiefdarklord69]

can you use one side for positive and the other for negative? or are they connected somehow? cause that would look dope, a amp rack beauty panel having it look like the positive is going into the negative lol

[@I1S1337]

Whats your opinion on OFC vs CCA wiring? when is it "necessary" to use OFC? always been curious.

[@nickmagana7]

Nice will consider one in the future.liked this a lot.

[@aplusdesigners]

As usual Mark, this is a great video. One question: Do you plan to do a video showing how to use actuators?

[@SPLaholic]

Oh why can't they have one for 4/0 in and 4 or 2 gauge out? I refue to give up my 4/0 power wires. Good video though, Mark. Keep it up.

[@biggen112345]

Hey where do I get that block. Its exactly what I have been looking for. There website does not have it.

[@babehasse]

Im from Sweden, my setup so far is SPL Dynamics SD-5.2 as front system powered by a DLS CA23 so it's getting 135rms and for subwoofer im running a DLS MW110 in a ported box with a slot port powered by a DLS X-D25 bridged at 550rms :) Gonna get a new front system and a new HU aswell. Any experiences of any good HU with 3 rca, rear aux and with time comp? P.S Your videos is giving soooo many ideas!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Are you part of my facebook? I have some teaser pics up, link is in video descrpition

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I didnt want to have it in the video as sometimes price changes, check their website, the link is in the description.

[@biggen112345]

Have one more question. should I fuse the line coming from the battery to the block

[@INCC74656I]

i had to build my own distro block as i could not find anything to do what i needed. this comes close but still not exactly. i ended up using 3/8" copper plate and running 2 double 0 gauge wires to the plate and then running 12 anl fuses off the plate to there individual wires.

[@biggen112345]

Thanks For some reason it wouldnt find it when I tired. Awesome videos. Thanks again for all you do and the quick response.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Keep it in mind for the future, and let them know how sent you! Thanks for watching!

[@MauiSoundsCarAudio]

awesome man good video

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Sometimes price changes so I didnt want to have it in the video, check out their website

[@jorgesau100]

What if I have 7 batts and 4 amps what should I do

[@walwalka]

CarAudioFabrication What size wrench does the fitting need?

[@jesusisalive3227]

I'm thinking for a winch and lighting!

[@boominrick1987]

How do you run wires to the doors?

[@tankdog03ify]

The new stinger x blocks kinda stole this idea.. but the stinger is more versatile because you can add as many as needed and just snap them together, to bad I don't use either of them because I use terminal lugs

[@hemi08911]

What about the fuse situation I have 2 Phoenix Gold Ti1500.1s

[@949dk]

for sure man

[@hemi08911]

Does the mini anl fuses provide the same protection like the larger ones? I currently have 2 250amp fuses in a distribution block and wanted this one for my sub amps.

[@joeypantera7397]

yes but the mini usually dont exceed 120 amps whereas ANL up to 300 or so

[@jasonbellows7]

what is the block made of ?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Send them on email and let them know I sent you if you do please! Thanks for watching!

[@BowtieForLife420]

And im buying one. :D

[@santiagodraco]

Why would you put a distro block like that (which btw doesn't seem to be available for sale?) near your battery? Wouldn't it be better to single fuse 0 gauge back to your amps and mount the distro there? Just in general principle ;)

[@hondafanatic17]

@CarAudioFabrication no I'm not but ill join up here shortly. I'm prolly going to just copy your box layout if it sounds good lol

[@ELGUERRO100]

Where would be the best place to purchase good quality power wire at an affordable price ? By the way The name should be FCA instead of CAF

[@CarAudioFabrication]

That stinks but shipping and tax are out of their control. :( Thanks for watching

[@johnalenwork53]

Price?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I know right?

[@mascotgraphics]

They should have included two extra 4g adapters. Can't buy what I need because they're out of stock.... so now I'm stuck, and can't use it until I can get those two 4g adapters.

[@iMakeItHappen96]

Any promo codes for knukoncepts? :)
