If you have 400 watts (100 X 4 channels) then you would need a 30 amp fuse. But from the fuse rating on your amp 2 X 25 it is capable of putting out 640 watts or 160 per channel. Since it is capable of putting out the extra power I would go with a 50 amp fuse.

yeah always fuse at the battery equal or a little bit less that what is in the amp, NEVER more than what is in the amp though!
