Distribution blocks, reducers
& splitters for Car Audio
Distribute and adapt the power supply for your car
audio system with our distribution blocks, electrical splitters,
cable reducers and power splitters for amplifiers
and high-power Car Audio systems.
CAR AUDIO ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION
Properly distribute the power supply to your amplifiers
A Car Audio distribution block distributes
a main power supply to several cables or pieces of equipment.
Reducers and splitters also allow you to adapt the
cable gauges to the amplifier inputs and create
clean, organized multi-amplifier installations.

POWER CONNECTIONS
Distribution block, splitter or reducer?
Each accessory serves a different need in the wiring
of a car audio system.
Distribution
A distribution block allows a large-gauge main
power cable to enter and then distribute
the current to several cables intended for amplifiers
or other equipment.
Gauge
A reducer allows a large-gauge cable to be adapted
to a smaller input. Solutions are available, in particular,
to go from a 50 or 54 mm² power supply
to an input of approximately 20 mm².
Power
A splitter allows an electrical input to be converted
into several connections. Models are available, in particular,
for 10, 20 or 50 mm² cables depending on the configuration
of the installation.
Amplifier
Some terminal blocks and adapters allow you to connect
several cables to a power supply or directly to a
compatible amplifier input, especially in
systems requiring a high wiring capacity.
MULTI-AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION
One main power supply, several amplifiers
In an installation equipped with several amplifiers,
a large-gauge main cable can power a distribution
block before being divided among the different devices.
This architecture helps organize the wiring, but each
output cable must remain properly sized and protected
according to its electrical capacity.
CABLE GAUGES
Distribution 10, 20, 25, 50 & 53 mm²
Our selection includes different configurations to adapt
the large gauges used in Car Audio installations.

25 mm²
Distribution
50 mm²
High power
53–54 mm²
Large power supply
Reducer 50 → 20 mm²
This type of adapter allows you to use a large-gauge main
cable with an amplifier whose terminal block
accepts a smaller gauge. Always check the
exact dimensions indicated on the reference.
Reducer 54 → 20 mm²
Large-gauge adapters are particularly
useful when an installation uses 50 to
54 mm² cable but the amplifier input does not
directly accept this diameter.
CAR AUDIO DISTRIBUTION GUIDE
Which distribution block should I choose?
Start by identifying the gauge of the main cable,
the number of amplifiers to power and the gauge required
for each output cable.
✓ Input — main cable gauge
✓ Outputs — number of cables required
✓ Gauges — diameter of each output
✓ Current — required current
✓ Amplifiers — number of devices
✓ Fuses — protection of branches
Not sure which model to choose?
Contact Sound Auto Concept with the gauge of your
main cable, your amplifier references and the number
of outputs required.
Pay attention to protection after a gauge reduction
When a large power cable is divided into a
smaller-gauge cable, the electrical protection must remain
adapted to the weakest cable downstream. A
distribution block with fuses may be necessary depending
on the installation architecture.
DISTRIBUTION WITH FUSES
Distribute and protect several circuits
Some blocks combine distribution and fuse holders.
They allow you to distribute a main power supply while
integrating individual protection for several
branches, particularly useful when different cable gauges
power several amplifiers.
HIGH-POWER CAR AUDIO
Electrical distribution for large installations
High-power, SQL and SPL Car Audio installations may
require several amplifiers and large-gauge cables.
Distribution blocks allow you to organize these power supplies
according to the electrical needs of the system.
Multi-output
Some models have many outputs to distribute
the power supply or ground to several pieces of equipment. Your
collection includes 3, 4, 6 or 8-output blocks, in particular,
depending on the references.
50 mm²
50 mm² inputs and outputs are particularly suited
to installations requiring large gauges. Blocks
also allow you to distribute 50 mm² to several
20 or 25 mm² outputs.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ – Car Audio Distribution Blocks
What is a Car Audio distribution block used for?
It allows you to distribute a main power supply to
several cables intended for different amplifiers
or electrical equipment.
How to power several amplifiers with a single cable?
A properly sized main cable can connect to
a distribution block that then distributes the power supply
to several amplifiers. Each branch must be
properly sized and protected.
What is a 50 mm² to 20 mm² reducer used for?
It allows you to connect a large-gauge cable to a
piece of equipment whose terminal block accepts a smaller gauge,
when the adapter is compatible with the device.
What is the difference between a splitter and a power splitter?
Both allow you to distribute an electrical connection.
A distribution block generally offers several
inputs or outputs in one box, while a splitter
can be a more compact adapter directly connected
to the cable or equipment.
Do you need a distribution block with fuses?
This depends on the electrical architecture. When a power supply
is divided among several cables, especially smaller gauges,
each conductor must remain protected according to its rated capacity.
Can you distribute a 50 mm² cable to several amplifiers?
Yes, if the main cable, the distribution block,
the output cables and the protections are properly
sized for the total current of the installation.
Can you use a distribution block for ground?
Some blocks can be used to group or distribute
ground connections, provided that their design,
gauges and capacity are adapted to the installation.
What gauge should I choose after a distribution block?
The gauge of each branch must be determined according to
the current required by the powered equipment, the length
of the cable and the type of conductor used.
Which block should I choose for two amplifiers?
Choose a block with an input compatible with
your main cable and at least two outputs adapted
to the gauges required for each of the amplifiers.
