My powerbass xa900d keeps popping the 30 amp inboard fuses. Has anyone ever seen ATO fuses bigger than 40 amps

How about you actually fix the problem that causes it to pop fuses?

And how do you suppose I do that lol. Bigger fuses is the only way I see to fix my problem

If this is happening with daily use you probably have a fault in the amplifier, or you have it configured incorrectly. Normally the internal fuses are to protect against reverse polarity damage and to protect the vehicle if something inside the amplifier shorts and overheats. You're playing with fire if you keep running oversized fuses.

If you fuse higher than you're supposed to you risk frying the amp before the fuse blows, but if you're hellbent on doing this you can get a 5 pack of Littelfuse 40A ATOs for under $6 shipped from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Littelfuse-0ATO040-VP-Volt-Carded-Fuse/dp/B000CODTKM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440614639&sr=8-1&keywords=40+amp+ato+fuse

I love how people who say "I know what I'm doing" often have no clue what they're doing.

And when people try to tell them its wrong they refuse to listen.
