How many amps is your amp??((

Do you mean the fuses on the amp? One amp is 25x3 and the other is 30x1

You amps need around 100amps of power, I would go and grab a 1/0wiring kit with a 300amp fuse for 60$ online and just replace the wiring. . .

Umm no to all of the above.

Unless you are popping the 80A fuse, no need to upgrade. Your amplifiers will not draw 100a unless they are at full volume, full (unclipped) gain, etc.

I disagree (spet with ultimate), standard 4g wire is usually capable of 150A. If you have some crap wire, then it may be a good idea. But shoot for a 100A fuse.

Just because EVERYone says to go 0g doesnt mean it's necessary.
