Here is a pic of the fuse block I installed in the same spot as your original post. I ran 6 AWG to the fuse block to minimize voltage drop. Currently only the HAM radio and a few accessory 12v outlets are connected to the block. I have 3 circuits left for future items.

My Kenwood owner's manual does say to go directly to the battery as others have posted. So far I have had no problems with my set up. I have been meaning to test the voltage drop but have not yet made the time.
