ok I am getting my second amp tomorrow and will install on Friday. I currently have 8 guage power and grounds. Frist amp has a 20 amp fuse and the second amp will have 60 amp fuse. Per the info on wiring it says I should be ok with 8 guage upto 100 amp. It appears I will be pulling only 80 amp max. Is there any reason to upgrade to 4 guage power?

also if the amps are pulling 60 and 20 amps, I should be ok with an 80 amp fuse after the battery and a 60 and 20 amp fuse in the distribution block with 8 guage power and grounds. Any advantage to upping my power to 4 guage?
