I want to use a distribution block to power my Mono and Multi-Channel amp. Is it as simple as adding both amp loads and getting the same amp fuse?

So it depends on if your distribution block has two separate fuses (one for each amp) or if your distribution block has only one fuse on the input side.
If you are talking about the fuse block/breaker that goes up by the battery in the power wire, than yes add the recommend fuse size for both amps together and use that or slightly larger fuse/breaker up front.
Rockford Fosgate recomends using a non-fused distribution block at the amps to split the power wire between two amps.
You should always have a fuse/breaker up by the battery on the power cable, that fuse/breaker protects the wire if it should be grounded out somewhere on the way back to the amps.
Hope that helps ..
