wiring help needed

[King_Juggalo 10+ year member]

right now i have a 8 guage power wire with a 40 amp inline fuse but im upgrading my amplifiers to one 2 channel memphis street edge amp for my sub and one 4 channel street edge amp for my speakers. both amps have 2x25 amp fuses so that would be 100 amps? if so would the 8 guage power wire need to be upgraded? and also could i keep my 40 amp inline fuse on the power wire and at the end of the power wire use a fused(2x40) distribution block to split the power wire between the two amps? here is a pic to better explain

thanks

i would upgrade to at least 4 gauge wire. A 4 gauge amp kit can be had for rather cheap on here, ebay, or knukonceptz.com.
