i was running my car's power through a 60 amp fuse at one point. fuse was in the rear beside the battery, and i had a ford solenoid rigged up so that when i cranked the car the solenoid bypassed the fuse.
worked like a charm, but i never used all the accessories at the same time.

Car stereo place. I originally used a fuse block, but blew a 125 amp fuse one day and realized those fuses were like $40 each, so I said **** that and installed the breaker. It was also nice because I could just hit the test button and open the fuse to disconnect the battery.
