upgrade your fuses to ANL so you can get like 100-150-200a fuses.

make sure the fuse at the batt is the same as the one recommended for the amp.

well the amp requires 3 30 amp fuses and i started with a 30 amp at the battery but now i am up to an60 amp at the battery and 3 50amps fuses at the fuse block.i guess i will change to a bigger block at the battery and go with a 100 amp at the battery and 80's at the fuse block.If i do this will i burnup my 800.00 amps

Alright, this is what u need to do. Put 3 30 amp fuses in your amp and NOTHING else. Then put 90 amps at your batt and NOTHING else. That should keep everything good.

he could do that but theres no reason to go buy different equipment so he has to do it. either way he needs to upgrade his fuses...
