As long as the fuse size you use is SMALLER than the max for the cable wire gauge size you use, then sure, there is nothing wrong with doing it that way. But the fuse at the battery is intended to protect the wire, not the amps. By using the largest size that will still protect the wire, you will never have to change it should you decide to upgrade an amplifier that can still be supported by the wire. Otherwise, fuse it for a 200 watt amp then install a 500 watt amp, and you also need to change your fuse. Why bother? Set it up once and be done.
