Recoil S-MPG4 Review: 4-Way Fused Distribution Block With Remote Delay Timer and Voltmeter
The Recoil S-MPG4 is a four-way Mini-ANL fused distribution block with a built-in voltmeter and four remote outputs, each with an adjustable delay of 0 to 30 seconds. Its Indian MRP is ₹16,000. Recoil's page says it powers up to four amplifiers or devices from one source, so it suits a multi-amplifier system where you want each amplifier to start up in turn. The block is on our Recoil S-MPG4 product page.
Quick summary
Two inputs take 0, 2 or 4 AWG wire, and four Mini-ANL fused outputs take 4 or 8 AWG, so one main feed splits into up to four branches.
Each remote output has a programmable 0 to 30 second delay. Recoil says this staggers amplifier turn-on and turn-off to avoid pops, but does not say how the delay is set or what triggers the outputs.
The voltmeter shows system voltage. Recoil says it protects the battery when voltage drops too low, yet publishes no thresholds, display details or accuracy figure.
Fuse ratings, dimensions and weight are not published, and we found no owner or reviewer write-ups.

The figures come from our listing, which matches Recoil's S-MPG4 page on its main site. That page is promotional and has no specifications table, and we did not find the S-MPG4 on Recoil's US store.
What the remote delay does
An amplifier wakes up when its remote turn-on wire carries a signal. With several amplifiers on one signal, they all start together. Recoil's page says staggering their turn-on and turn-off avoids pop-on and pop-off noise, and the S-MPG4 gives each of its four remote outputs its own delay so the amplifiers can start and stop one after another. The page also claims the start-up pop vanishes. That is a maker claim, and we have not checked it.
The page lists adjustable remote sequencer outputs but does not mention the input that starts them or explain how the delays are programmed. A sequencer normally passes the head unit's remote signal on after a delay, so confirm with the maker what starts the outputs and how the delays are set before you plan the remote wiring.
The voltmeter and the battery claim
Recoil's page says the built-in meter shows system voltage, that you can set voltage limits and get a warning message, and that it protects the battery from dying if voltage drops too low. The page gives no thresholds, no accuracy figure and no display details. It also does not say what the block does when a limit is reached, such as switching off the remote outputs.
Until Recoil documents that behaviour, treat the meter as a voltage read-out and the protection wording as a description, not a specification.
Inputs, outputs and fuses
Two inputs take 0, 2 or 4 AWG, and four outputs take 4 or 8 AWG through Mini-ANL fuses. Our listing calls it a power and ground block, but neither page says how many of the connections are ground. A 4 AWG feed such as the power wire in the Recoil RCK4 fits the input range, and the outputs cover 8 AWG, the gauge of the Recoil PCK8's power wire. An 8 AWG feed would be outside the input range.
Spare fuses and a fuse wrench are supplied, but Recoil gives no ratings. Choose each output fuse from the amplifier's manual and the branch wire, and check what is in the box. The main fuse stays near the battery, and the block's fuses protect the branches.
Planning a system around four outputs
With one output per amplifier, a four-amplifier system might give the front speakers, rear speakers, subwoofer and a fourth amplifier or processor an output each. The delay lets you choose which amplifier starts first. The right order depends on the system, and Recoil does not publish a recommendation. If a processor sits in the chain, our guide to the need for DSP in car audio systems explains what it adds.
What owners and reviewers say about the Recoil S-MPG4
We looked for owner and reviewer feedback in October 2026 and found nothing we could read. Recoil's main-site page shows Reviews (0), and we did not find the S-MPG4 on its US store. Our tools could not read Amazon, Walmart or Reddit, and forum and retailer search pages did not load, so feedback may exist that we could not see. If you have fitted one, tell us how the delays and the meter behaved.
Next to other Recoil power gear
The Recoil REC5D capacitor lists a built-in distribution block for two amplifiers, with three power and three ground inputs for 1/0 or 4 AWG wire. Its pages do not publish the block's outputs, so we cannot compare it with the S-MPG4 beyond that.
Who should buy it, and who shouldn't
Buy the S-MPG4 if you are running three or four amplifiers or devices from one feed, want their remote turn-on staggered, and will confirm the programming steps with the maker. Our guide to the need for an amplifier in car sound systems covers how amplifiers are chosen.
Look elsewhere if you have one amplifier, since the Recoil RCK4 and PCK8 wiring kits already include a fuse holder, if you need published fuse ratings or dimensions, or if your feed is 8 AWG, which the inputs do not list.
Installation notes for Indian cars
Dimensions are not published, so measure your mounting spot before ordering. Keep the block off the floor, away from engine heat, and where damp cannot sit on it. After fitting, watch the readout at idle with the AC and headlights on, treating it as a guide because Recoil gives no accuracy figure. VA3 Car Studio in Ghaziabad offers professional installation and DSP tuning for multi-amplifier systems.
Price and where to buy
The Recoil S-MPG4 carries an India MRP of ₹16,000. We often sell below MRP, so check today's price on the Recoil S-MPG4 product page. Our listing describes it as a genuine Recoil product.
The bottom line
The S-MPG4 is a four-way fused block with delayed remote outputs and a voltmeter, at ₹16,000 MRP. The wire sizes are published. Fuse ratings, how the delays are set, what triggers them and what the voltage limits do are for the maker to confirm.
Recoil S-MPG4 FAQ
What does the Recoil S-MPG4 do?
It splits a main power feed into four Mini-ANL fused outputs and adds four remote outputs with programmable delays of 0 to 30 seconds, plus a built-in voltmeter.
What wire sizes does the S-MPG4 take?
Its two inputs are listed for 0, 2 or 4 AWG wire, and its four fused outputs for 4 or 8 AWG wire.
Does the S-MPG4 come with fuses?
Spare fuses and a fuse wrench are supplied. Recoil does not publish the ratings, so check the fuses against your amplifier's manual.
Does the S-MPG4 protect my battery?
Recoil's page says the voltmeter protects the battery when voltage drops too low, but it gives no thresholds and does not say what the block does at the limit.
