first off i have a total of 105 amps. i have a 110 fuse at the battery. now do i, after connecting the capacitor before the amps, do i need to install additional fuses after the distribution block???? if any answers or ideas would really help me out. thank you!!!!!
 
You do not need an additional fuse between the capacitor and the amplifier, if there's a fuse installed at the battery. In fact, placing a fuse between the capacitor and the amp can be counterproductive.

You should install additional fuses wherever the size of the wire decreases. For example, if you have 4-gauge wire between the battery and the distribution block, and 8-gauge wires between the distribution block and the amplifiers, then you should have fuses on each of the 8-gauge wires. (Many d-blocks have built-in fuse holders for this purpose).
 
i belive the cap. has its own fuse ..so theres a regular amp fuse in the hook..and theres another fuse to the cap.i just bought a cap and it comes with its own fuse i havnt hook it up yet..
 
no, you do not need another fuse

but i feel bad for you, you wasted money on a cap that isnt even gonna help you at all.. *sigh*
