    Right now I have a 4 gauge tsunami power wire with 6oa fuse going to a block with 2 8 gauge wires goin to my 2 amps.I'm getting a 5 channel(900w max and 25x3=75a fuse rating)and was wondering if I can just use the tsunami 4 gauge and change to a bigger fuse(80a or 100a) for power as its already run through the car.I think I would also just need a couple feet of 4 gauge for ground.I've never installed an amp but this would save me money and give me the satisfaction of doing it myself(kinda).I think I would just disconnect from the distribution block and connect the 4 gauge power and turn on wire and change the ground wire to 4 gauge.Then just connect the speakers,sub,and rca's as everything should already be there. Does this sound about right?

    4 gauge is fine for that amount of power
