Default Inverting Subs w/ Dual Amp Setup?? Dist Block -> Fuse placement?

Made a thread on hwo to wire my power wire for my 2 subs and how to get both coils powerred. So this is the pic of how I have it wired now.

Now is there any special way to wire subs when inverting them or is it just a matter of wiring them normally and just flipping the sub in the box???

Also I just made a thread on how to wire to amps and learned how to use a distribution block. Now my problem is with this pick is I have ONE FUSE places about a foot after where my 4ga power connects to my positive battery terminal. Will the fuse blow right away that Im not hooking up a dist block for 2 amps? Do I have to get 2 fuses and places them after the distribution block and before each amp?? Heres the pic for that so you get the idea

If you flip both then you can keep it the same. They will be 180 out of phase, but phase is hard to tell on bass notes anyway. If you have an alpine headunit you can just flip the phase 180 on the sub output. You can flip the positive and negative leads at the amp to correct for this also.

Any info on the fuse placement?

AUdiobahn subs and a few other like mine really go all out on the show factor of there subs and they look great in shows inverted.

It also give you more c/f because your subs are no longer taking up space

Yes.

Fuse within 1 foot of battery is good. Rather it will blow or not depends on the size of the fuse and the current draw of your amps.

Easy way is to add together the fuses on the amp. If you equal that then there should be no problem.
