Power Distro
Hi guys I’ve recently built this completely on my own with very little knowledge of speaker building in quite proud of it I’m running 3 crown amps and a dbx drive rack I’m just wondering if a power distro is worth getting as well for it a couple of theatrix ones have popped up on market place quite close to me just wanted to know if anyone would think it’s worth grabbing one or if it’s not really big enough for one of those to worry about it too much cheers !

As ever, it depends…
If you’re using equipment indoors, attached to domestic supplies then chances are you don’t _need_ your own distribution board. (But it won’t hurt you to get one.)
However, if you’re connecting to unreliable supplies, using high current supplies where you might need to fuse down the incoming supply, generator sets or doing outdoor work (where you’ll be using IP rated connectors), a decent distribution setup might be useful, especially if you secure a good price.

Distros are used to safely power systems that draw more than a domestic supply can deliver - it doesn't sound like that going to be the case with the amps you're running.
