Up the run from your battery to 1/0 CCA fused at 250 or 300 amps. It's a bit of overkill for your system right now but it's better to have a lot more current than you need than to starve the equipment of even one ampere.

Bigger wire from the battery and to the amps is always a good thing..

also put the fuse as close to the battery as possible. also I think 4 gauge would be fine, unless your looking at upgrading later on
