third party fuse panel question

Before I start wiring this up, I have a fuse panel, uses the normal stock size fuses, and I'm wondering how to wire it up. This might sound stupid as hell, but if I run a main power supply wire into the first contact, then wire it up to the second one, then the third, and so on, will there be any kind of power drop on the last contacts as opposed to the first in the series? would there be any reason to set the fuses from lowest to highest amp rating along the path of the wire or vice versa?

I believe it's all wired parallel. Did you check these diagrams out?

Re: third party fuse panel question

i think i answered my own question on the larger one, i think that post is the supply? its the only connection i see aside from the leads out. the second one has a lead in for each fuse, that is whats confusing me. remember these are autozone or similar specials, nothing stock about them aside from the fuses, thanks for the quick reply.
