Use a fuse holder. Can't hurt to throw an extra fuse in it.

they dont' make 4 gauge butt connectors, you can either use a splice nut like we use for houses, you can get one of them at lowes or home depot, its basically just a split "bolt" with a nut that threads on it and you put the wire inside the split part and tighten it and tape it up real nice.

Or you can get some 4 gauge splices like these...

I can get you a splice like that for around 7 dollars + shipping

or you can just use a fuse holder

I have used a second fuse holder before and it worked fine.

or use ring terminals and a bolt and nut to connect the ends together

im already added a fuse holder closer to the amp as the amp requires an 80 amp fuse to it , im falling short to the batter distribution block

Lowes and Home Depot sell up to a 2g butt connector. It uses a hex screw to secure the wires.
