You might also check your local car audio shops. They carry some pretty "Beefy" screw together inline cartridge fuse holders and fuses for these 800 watt and higher car audio systems. Some of these holders are made to accommodate that # 2 "welding cable" that the kids use to run power back to the rear mounted amplifier bays in their vehicles. I use a similar ones of these from the big Astron power supplies to the final amplifiers in repeaters. The larger cartridge fuse and holder has more surface area, stiffer spring tension, and less probability of voltage drop under continuous high current than your smaller 1/4" Buss fuses and holders.

I've never seen a 3AG style in-line fuseholder like comes with most radios as a stand-alone purchasable item. It usually comes with a short (most times inadequate) length of wire out each end, already crimped to the buttons or clamps used for contact to the fuses. >> >> Check your electrical wholesaler; once stumbled on a nice one -- rubberized, linked, ribbed cover ends (adjustable length & can't get lost) with ready-to-crimp contacts for 14ga or so; price wasn't so bad. mfgr was maybe BUSS or TRON ??
