140A Fuse ?

140A Fuse ?
Well I have 2 Kenwood Amps, each having (2) 30A fuses. So each equaling to 60A. Two 60A's plus my 15A fuse for my Legacy amp. Leaves me with 135A's of power needed in my distro block.
I have not found any 140A AGU fuses, for my main fuse holder.
Thanks

135 amp is your max draw at peak. I did a quick search and the highest I could find is an 80 AMP.
What size of wiring are you using? I would suggest going to a different style of fuse holder or a circuit breaker.
I think I have a streetwires 0/1 ANL kicking around somewhere for sale.

AGU fuses only go up to 80 or 90 amp iirc.
Youll need to make two runs of wire with two fuses, or upgrade to an ANL fuse holder.
Also, what gauge of wire are you running? If it is 4 gauge youll need to upgrade, as its only rated to handle 125 amps.

I have three amps
jl 500/1 500x1 =500w rms no external fuse but 50A fuse recomended for distro block
MTX 4244 4x55w 220w rms 2x25A fuses
Blaupunkt PA275M 2x75w = 150w rms 30A fuse
total rms = 870w
have a 100A circuit breaker at the battery, using 4gage power wire that runs to a 3 way AGU distribution block then each AGU fuse to match the amplifier its connected to
for the "big 3" the factory wires were left alone as they are already 4gage, added an extra 4 gage ground wire though, took the power wire for the stereo from the top post on the battery and put it on the side post for a bettery connection to avoid using that metal adapter
upgraded the stock 105 A alt to a 200 A alternator
my electrical system is perfect for the draw that I have, voltage is between 14.9 and 13.1
I hope this example helps others decide what they need to get

100 A circuit breaker can be reset if it pops, mine never has, also the power to the stereo can be cut easily if your doing work with the wires, so much easier then any other setup such as fuse holders

get an anl fuse
fuses always so there job blow
i've replaced many bad breakers that the water has leaked into

i have had one in my sisters car for 5 years now and it is still fully functional , and that poor car gets beat to , its out in the open and everything . plus why would they put them on heavy duty equipment that work waste deep in mud . try buying better breakers . or putting them in a better location
or you can go with a fuse . really up to you .
