By protecting the two 4 gauges by a single 160A you could be asking for trouble.  If I remember correctly, an anl style fuse will hold up to teo times the rated current for over 5 seconds.I actually had a wire come loose in my car, luckily it didn't short because it was the wire from my battery to the fuse holder. I could imagine the problems I could have had if it had shorted.  After seeing that happen I would tend to err on the side of caution.</blockquote>
