The main at the battery fuse would still protect the outputs of lets say a 4ga in and 8ga out PDB. Most times the 8 gauge leads are very short and the possibility of shorting them to ground is very remote, if they did the main fuse would blow.

Like I said technically you don't need a fused block if your amp/s all have one, if you want to do it anyways it's all good.

Only reason I do a fused PDB is to make access to the amp fuse easier if it is a PITA to get to the amp fuse itself. I put the amp fuse value in the PDB and replace the one in the amp with a slightly large one so it won't blow, the one in the PDB will first.

Strange analogy I must say...hmm....is she open to blumpykins instead?
