Fuses and Distrubition Block Problem

Ok, so I need some real clearing up on the fuse size to use in my Distrubition block.
I have a 4G wire comming in, from the battery to the Distro. Block.
Then 3 branches out of that, with 8g wire.
All 3 will go to my;

- Kenwood KAC-9102D. Has two 30A fuses on back.
- American Legacy La290. Has one 10A fuse on the back.
- Pyramide 74-G Crossover Unit. Has a tubed fuse, rated at 1A.

Now, I was told for the fuse sizes in the distro block, put in the same size, to which that wire runs to.
So one slot would have a 30A fuse. ( kenwood amp ). Another slot will have a 10A fuse, for my Legacy Amp, And the last slot will have a 1A fuse, for my Crossover.

So I got the fuses, ( for free at a local auto shop ) but it seems that they don't fit into the distro block. It seems that they need a fater type fuse. The ones I got were too small of a diameter.

Help by anyone ?

You need AGU fuses but you will be hard pressed to find a 10 and a 1 so use the lowest you kind find. Maybe a 20 or so. The Kenwood needs a 60 not a 30 as the total of the fuses on the amp is 60.
