Wire too Large? Fuse too Large?

[rkboid]

I am installing two amps, One is 30wx4, and the other is 170w x1 rms. These are two old amps I have had around for awhile, but want to do my wireing and upgrade latter. I purchased the scorsche duel amp Kit at walmart. It comes with 4ga wire and a 80amp fuse. Is this TOO large and can it be a saftey concern? As I said I will be stepping up in amps sooner rather then latter, but want to get the wiring done.

P.S amps are at 17ft.

As long as the fuse is the proper size for the WIRE you're fine. You could go up to 125A or so and still be ok. You have nothing to worry about.
