whats your setup, and fuse rating, wire size?

4GA wiring, the fuse on the wiring was 60, so i was thinking i need to upgrade to 0/1 GA and get a bigger fuse for the power cord

What kind of 4g wire is that? Is it CCA or OFC? OFC 4g can handle 150A.

It doesn't. You hook 0 in to it and run 4 from it to your amp
