can anyone help me get this straight?

im upgrading my amps & the AGU style fuse setup is no longer adequate. (i think). i have an AGU inline fuseholder @ the battery, to a fusable dist. block, then to the amps. after my amp upgrades, i will have a total of 105A. (60A + 30A + 15A) the AGU fuses only go up to 60. i can keep the fusable dist. block (because the max single load is 60A, so im OK), but the main battery lead will have a ~105A load.

in my research ive found the ANL style fuse, is this what i need to upgrade to? the fuse holders that i found are around $45! whoa!

im a firmer believer in the "you get what you pay for" mentallity, but i really dont need the kick-ass install flare, i just want a solid/stable power connection...

can anybody recommend a new setup for me?......thanks!

I prefer using the manual reset circuit breakers under the hood.. a 100amp will be plenty for you..
